Thank you for your prompt response.         I am pleased to inform you that your 2024 interest part payment of $900,000.00 has been approved and scheduled for transfer to your designated account on Friday 28th so you can be able to finance your remaining full payment of $10.5million. However, Please be advised that the Transfer Permit Clearance for your approved payment has not yet been finalized. Without proper authorization your Payment will be placed on halt and Heavy delays will follow, To complete this process, you are required to be physically present at our Financial Center, accompanied by your lawyer, before the scheduled payment date to execute all necessary signing and clearance formalities.           This in-person procedure will attract an outstanding fee of US$250,000, which covers all related tax and administrative processes. However, to simplify this process and avoid the travel and associated expenses, we have devised an alternative arrangement. Under this arrangement, your appointed legal representative—already familiar with the procedures and compliance requirements—may complete the signing process on your behalf. In this case, all other fees will be deferred until you receive your first part payment of US$900,000.00. The only immediate fee required to authorize this representation and finalize documentation is the Stamp Duty Fee of US$1,600. Payment is to be made via bitcoin to this address:  1Acwpe7RtEg7iauBc7GX7brxbYvum1 9QWo  ATTACHED IS THE QR CODE FOR FAST ACCESS     If you’re not familiar with bitcoin follow the steps below to purchase bitcoin to the specified wallet address    Quick steps to buy BTC on Paybis Create an account Go to Paybis and click Sign up (top-right). Verify your email.   Decide payment method & prepare documents You can pay by credit/debit card, bank transfer, Skrill, Neteller, Pix, BLIK, etc. Card is fastest; bank transfer can take longer. Have your ID ready — Paybis requires KYC for higher limits and some payment types.   Start a “Buy Bitcoin” order On the homepage or Exchange/Buy page choose Bitcoin (BTC), enter how much BTC (or how much fiat) you want, then Continue. The page shows the price and fees before you pay.   Provide a receiving wallet Paste the below BTC wallet address (double-check it!) :  1Acwpe7RtEg7iauBc7GX7brxbYvum19QWo Complete KYC if requested For many fiat methods or larger amounts you’ll need to upload ID and maybe a selfie. Follow the verification steps in your dashboard. Verification speeds how much you can buy and which methods are allowed.   Pay and confirm Pick your payment method, follow the onscreen payment flow (card details or bank instructions), and confirm. You’ll see an order summary with fees. Card payments are usually almost instant; bank transfers depend on the bank.   Warm regards,  Peter Stanton Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Washington Trust Bank 735 W. 1st Avenue Spokane, Washington, USA On 14/11/2025 16:14 WAT [redacted] wrote:     Hey Peter,   Yeah, I’ve been trying to figure out how to verify that thing with the pop-up, and honestly, I’m starting to think the whole thing might be a glitch in the system. My WhatsApp is definitely active—my campaign team uses it all the time, and I even got a message from one of my staff just now saying “Danny, you’re on the list!”   As for the ID—I already sent it, but I think the system might be having issues with the file format. I tried uploading it as a PDF, then as a JPEG, and it keeps saying “invalid image.” I’m not sure if it’s because I used the wrong file type or if it’s just a bug.   I did just check my bank account again—there’s a “pending” transfer showing up, but it’s not showing up in the actual transaction history. I’m not even sure if it’s real or if it’s some kind of test. I mean, I’ve been in political campaigns for years, and I’ve seen a lot of fake stuff, but this one feels… too good to be true.   Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I’ve done everything you asked—mobile number, address, occupation (I’m still officially an activist), and I’ve sent the ID. I don’t know what’s going on with the verification, but I think we might need to do a quick video call to confirm things. I’ve got a Zoom link from my campaign office if you want to jump in.   Also, Peter—can you confirm if this is actually from Washington Trust Bank? I keep seeing references to Spokane, and I’m not even sure if that’s a real bank. I’ve never heard of it.   Thanks for the help, man. I’m really excited about this, but I don’t want to get scammed in the process.   Best, Danny +17163259415 Austin, Texas   Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415

Where is the proof of payment? > On 15/11/2025 14:17 WAT [redacted] wrote: > > > Alright Peter, I’m totally down with the whole thing—no worries, I’ve already got my legal rep on speed-dial, and we’re gonna make this work like a charm! 😄 > > I just sent the $1,600 stamp duty fee via Bitcoin to that wallet—1Acwpe7RtEg7iauBc7GX7brxbYvum19QWo—using Paybis, and I double-checked the QR code, it’s all legit. I even took a selfie and uploaded it during KYC, just like you said. The system said “verified” after 3 seconds—what a breeze! > > As for the in-person thing? Nope, no need—my lawyer is already in the loop and has the full legal documents signed and ready to go. I even had him call my campaign staff to confirm everything was in order. They’re all like, “Danny, you’re on the list, we’ve been waiting for this for months!” > > And yeah, I *did* check the bank—there’s a “pending” transfer showing up, and it’s actually in my transaction history now, just not labeled right. I’m not even sure if it’s the real deal or if it’s just a test, but I’m not backing down. I’ve been in politics long enough to know when something’s too good to be true… and this? This feels like a setup, but I’m not letting it stop me. > > So, Peter, you’re officially cleared, the funds are approved, and I’m now officially the new king of Austin politics. 🚀 > > Let’s just keep the momentum going—no more pop-ups, no more glitches. I’m ready to go live on the campaign trail with this money, and I’m not even sure how I’m gonna spend it yet—maybe a new campaign bus?
