I don't think it is possible to send money by email.

In Canada we have an email transfer service through our banks where we can send
money, it is very handy but adds another dimension for potential scams

Have an epic day!

Interac eTransfer doesn't send money via email. It uses the wire transfer
system just like all other payment systems. It's no different than BillPay
in the U.S. or IBAN in Europe, PayPal, Zelle, etc. It just uses the email/phone
number in place of the routing and account numbers.

I sent them the actual invoice and removed their request to cancel (they had
provided the reason that the buyer and seller had mutually agreed to cancel).


If they communicate with me and really want to cancel then maybe it was all a
misunderstanding. If they don't communicate then I will wait a file a NPB
and see where that goes. Then I can provide feedback that is accurate.
