It's a scam. Don't send the item to them or you will lose it. The email from the bank is fake and the scammer has sent you no money.

Banks do not offer escrow services where money is held until someone posts an item - if a bank transfer is made, the money goes to the recipient.

but she also gave me the receipt on whatsapp
  by AlanJones
 
The receipt is fake.

What email address did the "bank" write to you from?
  by AlanJones
 
[email protected] is a free email address - no legitimate bank would use an email address like this.

Mod Note: It is likely that this victim has been threatened by the scammer in an attempt to get their details removed. This is 100% definitely a scam. Banks do not hold on to payments pending actions from recipients - they have no involvement in transactions.

this issue has been solved. sorry about everything

No, she isn't, as you have already been told. It is sad that you have let the scammer bully you into trying to get their details removed. The post will be staying.

Fake buyer - [email protected]
Fake bank - [email protected] - as previously posted, this is a free email address that no legitimate bank would use.

Also, banks do not offer Escrow services where they hold payments pending the receipt of tracking numbers.

This victim insists that they have received the money for their item. If this is the case then any money that they have received will have come from another scam victim and when that victim realises that they have been scammed, it will be Ilyasa's details that they report to the authorities.
