Just an update... I am in constant (several times daily) contact with this ******* (leading them on for more info) and have learned that the email address of
raydawson879@gmail.com is associated with the name "Barbara B", and the bank associated with this email address is citi (citibank).
So, the person who got scammed here might want to contact citibank as that could very well be the primary bank that is used for these scams.
