This is another spam I recently received via email.
Two weeks ago I met this guy on the Internet who claimed to be Rowell Harrison who claimed to be a British National and works as a Project Manager/Chemical Engineer working in Liverpool and earns 11, 200 pounds a month?? That's big huh! On the third day of chatting online, he started telling me that he'll go for shopping and wanted to buy me things like Blackberry and some nice perfumes.The next day he said he wanted to send me the things so he wanted my address so i gave him. The following day he sent me an email with the billing receipt attached to it with all the details. Looks like it's a true airway bill receipt.When we had a chat he said he enclosed 3, 500 pounds(That's a lot considering that he only known me for 10 days and he didn't even see me???) in the parcel that he sent me and he said I will use it for the booking of a hotel for which we are planning to meet soon. I begun to suspect that he's not real when i tried to go to the website that he's telling me and track the tracking #. I really don't know if this site is real.It says on the receipt that i will receive it in 3-4 days. He sent the parcel on 15 October 2009. Today i received a call from a lady in Malaysia asking if i received an email about the package. I said no even though I have read it on my SPAM folder (see below email). She's trying to tell me that i have to pay this amount for me to get the package . I told her to call the sender and not me because I don't have any business with this. I am only the recipient. When i Looked at the number it was a number from Bangladesh and not Malaysia. Guys this is the number +88060102719475. Based on the area code it is a Bangladesh number and not Malaysia. My question is how come the courier company knows my email address when it's not indicated on the billing receipt??Hmm..It then came to my mind that this guy who claimed to be Mr. Rowell Harrison was the master mind of this SCAM.
Beware of this guy coz he's trying to fool ladies out there!
Please find below the email from the courier company...
