The ploy is impressive for the details that are provided, but I noticed problems with mispelling and misusing some words, that is the kind of mistakes made by someone who is not a native speaker of English. Pseudo-Carter let me know that I must use 'their' attorney, since I spoke of my preference to use an American lawyer. He said this was not possible. Since I was sure that the next step was to provide information such as bank account numbers, SSN, credit card numbers, etc. I asked him to provide me with a way by which I could seek the veracity of his claims and verify the credentials of the attorney. If you of some way that I can give this guy trouble, let me know.
