Apple Cards and Kamala Harris

I've been stringing along a scammer who was impersonating the Vice President of the United States. At first, I had many innocent questions...
Can you please tell me what's going on?
Alright, but how do I pay?
I've never used Bitcoin before. Does it take cash?
...which led the scammer giving up on almost-normal sounding methods of payment and just asking for an Apple card.
Yes get Apple Card
Ok so how long until you get the card now Apple Card
How long until you get the card because everything is ready now
Yes I told you to get Apple Card
The scammer never specified they wanted a gift card. They just kept stressing about an apple card. Silly scammer. My character is too naïve to understand your lack of specifics. Anyway, I asked a few pointless questions about horses, rambled about my job, and that sort of thing. I even offered to send a bottle of rosemary perfume with the apple card. Rosemary, for those unfamiliar with aromatherapy, is allegedly used to enhance brain power. In other words, a subtle way of calling the scammer stupid. My rambling must've started to get on the scammer's nerves, because they eventually sent me this:
Stop playing games with me now
Don’t worry we can discou about that one when I get to your home address ok
I felt it was a touch threatening, especially since the scammer had my "personal information" and knew my character was an 18 year old girl. Eventually, my character put the nonexistent apple card and perfume in the mail, but woe to the scammer! In my character's naivety, the package was "sent" to the White House mailing address. This did not go over well.
Fuck you I will cancel this delivery right now
The jig was up, but I just couldn't help myself. I wasn't done with the game just yet, so I emailed a picture of the "package" I had sent.

Lo and behold, while I was writing this, the scammer sent me a parting email.
Get out please
I think it went pretty well for my first time scam-baiting :D

You seem to think the bait is over?

You did just as the lad said and went out ...with your friends to the mall. There you saw iTunes card and it clicked. This is what the lad must have meant all along! So you went and bought the cards..

Now, what's next?

Wow, you were right. "Kamala Harris" is emailing me again, and it's been months since I've heard from the lad! What should I do?

Ask what "she" spent the money on, and does she want another?

What Mr T M said. It's always fun to tell your lad that you sent the payment to his agent. Lads love that.

Alright, here's an update on this nonsense...
Yes I'm here now what's going on about the fee now
What fee are you talking about?
I told you before the fee is for delivery
Delivery fee
$50
What am I even receiving from you?
I will delivery your consignment box once you make the payment now okay
What's in the box?
At this point, I thought the lad had given up on me again, because "Kamala" sent me a couple of blank emails. Eventually, The lad remembered how to use a keyboard.
Okay sorry your fund’s is $10. 9 Million USD Dollars
All that money fits in a box? How big is it?
When I come you can see it okay
I'm starting to wonder if the lad's insistence on personally delivering the box is a sign he wants to strangle River :lol:
You're coming to my home? That's quite an honor! What's your favorite dessert? I'm a pretty decent baker, so I'll do my best to make it for you.
Anything is okay for me when are you going to be able to make the payment
If you're coming here with a box of money anyway, why not just come down first? We'll eat some cookies, open the box together, and then you can take out however much much money you want.
Okay pay $50 dollars for the transportation
This is hilariously less than what the lad was asking for a few months ago. Maybe "Kamala" thinks that I'll pay up if the price gets low enough. However, I was a bit stuck on where to go from here, but thankfully you kind gentlemen are much better at this than I am. Following your advice, I innocently asked what the lad would spend the money on, and it took a couple of days for the response.
Taxi driver man fee
I'm not even sure what to make of this. The obvious answer is that "Kamala" just wants a scrap of money out of River to feel like this 80 email long string of nonsense has not been a complete waste of time. Of course, I find it funny to think the lad honestly believes $50 is a reasonable taxi fee to go across multiple states from Washington, DC.

Probably time for this lad to get a lesson in gender stereotypes. You would think Kamala would know that women can drive a taxi just as well as men, also tell him to just take an uber it will only be 25 bucks.
