It certainly is a scam, no one can ask money before you send something in return (items or money). It’s like you, to pay $ 2,700 to get $ 200,000? Normal seems?

From the beginning, go from the credibility of those who asked for money! What are emails, check if they are on the original sites. Two: You must have the payment documents you have done and check the data of the insider.
