You advised to not wire transfer money using banks. But what an you do instead to avoid a scam??

Terry Says

Wait, please re-read that article. I told you never to WIRE money to anyone you don’t know!
Once you send money via the ACH bank wires it is gone forever. Just don’t send ANY money any way, or give a cash payment to ANYONE you don’t really know!
