forwarded email:
I have been in contact with Gretta White for a few weeks now and I realized it was a scam long ago but I have been stringing her along to waste her time and so I could submit as much information as possible to the FBI IC3. I will try to forward you all of our email correspondence.

Hi Dave ,
Hope this message finds you well. I am very sorry that i couldn't get in touch immediately. I was hospitalized in Cancun immediately after my twin sister's wedding. I almost had miscarriage but thank God, i am now feeling better and can't wait to have my baby and settle down.
I am not sure if my husband has been able to forward the payment to our address. I will check with him and get back to you later today OR tomorrow. Anyway, i have forwarded your contact info to the Moving agency that will be handling the shipment of all our house decors. They promise to get in touch with you today. Try and arrange the shipping details with them. I will like an update from you as soon as you hear from the movers.
Try and get back as soon as you receive this email so i can be sure weare on the same page. Thanks for your patient.
Best Regards,

Hi Dave ,
Good to hear you have received payment for the artwork and thanks for your update. I am very excited and can't wait to have the piece on my wall. I hope to give it a very good home and enjoy the piece for years.
Regarding the payment, my husband made a mistake and send your payment with that of the movers because he didn't have full details of the transaction since i was sick when he sent it. I am very sorry for the confusion.
Anyway, i will like you to go ahead and deposit the payment, you can then remove the asking price for [name of piece] and forward the difference back to him.
Meanwhile , i was able to get hold of the movers immediately i got your email and they promise to get in touch with you today and make shipping arrangement. Try and keep me updated as soon as you hear from them.
Best Regards,
Gretta.
PS..Kindly acknowledge this email as soon as possible. Thanks .

You don't need to have an account,swift codes or any bank codes but you will have to pay western union fees which you can deduct from the difference. It is usually a meagre amount. After the transfer, you will need to get back with the following information.
1. Name and address of sender.
2. Total Amount sent after deducting transfer charges.
3. Money Transfer Control Number ( MTCN number ).
I will like you to handle this as soon as possible. Thanks and I'll await your response.
Gretta.
