The following shares the scammer's responses to questions sent by the speaker in order received. Similar to scams in the past, the scammer is pushing the speaker to pay for a work permit through their personal contact,  Linda Jacoline. 

"Do contact Ms Jacoline, She will lead you through the process as she has done in the past." I bet she will!

We had an issue last year with one of our international speakers who thought the same thing, He was accosted by the country's immigration on the day of his speech and it was a huge embarrassment and a bad image on the Church, thats why we want any body speaking at this event to have the necessary working document, that is why we believe Ms Jacoline can be of help as she has done in the past . 

  Yes , if you give us your airport of departure , preferred time and full name as it is on your passport , we will make the hotel payment. We believe you have received the Hotel confirmation . 

Thanks
