Hi and welcome to scamwarners, Anijang. Glad to hear you did not fall for this scam. Please remove your personal information using the pencil looking button near the top right corner of the post box. We only want scammer's information here.

Thanks for posting the scam script, and the scammers' various email addresses. It will help others doing searches for the same information :D

It might be a good idea to let your bank know what happened, so they can put a "fraud alert" on your account ( it might have a different name in your country). Be sure to tell them what happened so you can avoid any criminal activity involved with your bank account.
