My latest buyer isn't a scammer, but his transaction is going to take 2-3 days because of some security measures.

Whatever, as long as I get my 400 dollars.

I memorized where that country was for the map test since it was right next to the country, Chad, and there's this nigger named Chad at our school, so I just rememberd that Chad was a nigger and it worked.
