I heard back from Agent Mary Jones and she said to purchase an Apple card st the supermarket. I put 500 on the card claiming I eoll get back 70 000.00. I took a picture of the Apple card and the cover and debut card. I was approved. I should receive my money in FedEx in 24 hours. I receuvedva text later on that evening stating there was a serious accident with the FedEx truck and money might mot be safe. I had to pay 1000 ransom money by the next morning. Then Agent Jones said my money is safe. If I didn’t pay the 1000 ransom money I couldn’t receive money 70,000.00. The followingornong AgentbJones said the Manager Julie Keachnpsid thr rNdom money.
