He said "Sir, if you can come up with $1200 than they would hand deliver to me a certified check for $525,000. I asked them them how long I had to come up with the money. He said Thursday. He said once they receive the money order for the $1,200 they would process the check, and the $1200 would be refunded. I asked who I should make the money order out to and he said, "Make the money order out to Liberty Trade and Investment for $1200 to cover the 1% security deposit".
