I've included the entire email exchange with
[email protected]. As a small business I was excited to get an order of this size, but grateful that there were warning signs that led to investigating it further...

Chris,
On advice of my bank, I would be happy to receive your payment via Western
Union money transfer. Your email has too many grammatical errors and the
idea that I need to transfer money to a third party is a risk I am unwilling
to take with my business. Please let me know when I can receive my payment
through Western Union. I will then proceed to pack your purchases and get
them ready to pick up by your shipping agent.
Wendy Gray
