Delivery scam
I want to report a scam, i met someone from online dating site, said he send me a parcel contains necklace, wrist wacth & a sum of 4, 500 pounds, he send me the website & the tracking number where i can locate the parcel. One day a lady from malaysia which is a filipino called & said that my parcel is Held in their office due to sender violated the rules abt shipping parcel, & asked me to pay charges of 1, 500 in malaysian currency. I believed it as the lady who called speak to me in our langauge and is very convincing, and at the same
time the website is real that i can locate where the parcel goes and see the status everyday. SO i paiy the amount was asked to pay and 1 day after another email from the courier give me another amount to pay that includes the insurance & the VAT of the package, then i got suspicious as Why theres a VAT and insurance which i thought the sender paid for it already, so what i did i search on google if its really need to pay insurance when theres a money detected inside the parcel. And then i found lots of complaints about scams at the same story i had with different people exactly the same.
The number that appears to my fone is from Malaysia, im not sure if its a callcenter that has illegal business Thing, And i was thinking why this people has connections to people in the UK, and im sure not just people in the UK but in other part of the world.
I want the Police & investigator locate the address of that courier, as i tried to contact the number it many times and seems like a special number re-routed to an answering machine.
I want this scam & fake parcel website stop, as it ruins many peoples lives, imagine how this people barrow money in the thought that the package is being held and in order to release it u have to pay Fortune. Even if the courier is true, how come this courier has illegal transaction with people in malaysian customs just to get money from it. This is ridiculous, the blogs i have read from different sites has lots of scam in malaysia, i think even if the country is good in our impression, it will change when u see that malaysian are scammers, just same with some people from the UK.

Scam Parcel Held IN MALAYSIA
Hi! I met someone online named Robert Edward, and surprisingly he send me a
parcel containing a wrist watch, necklace, rose flower & a sum of 4, 500
pounds, and he said as per inquiry that the parcel will arrive in 3-4 days.
One day, i receive a call from a lady in malaysia with the malaysian
telephone number appeared on my fone. He said that the parcel has been held
due to the sender has violated the courier rules, and i have to pay 1500
ringgit which i paid in the thought that i would be receiving it & dispatch
it immediately, This courier asked me to locate a western union and send it
to MAX SAMUEL POWELL, after that their asking for another charges which
makes me doubt and decided to search about parcel in google, which directs
me to see complaints about parcel scam from malaysia, and have read the same
stories of other people.
SO, this has been a lesson learned, and dont be like me who was carried away
by someone, the only thing that makes me believe this is that, they use
hi-tech activity, even the website for tracking the parcel and the website
of the courier is existing and realistic.
Im trying to search this MAX SAMUEL POWELL, & this ROBERT EDWARD not sure
if his in the UK or if he is in malaysia as the money was sent to malaysia,
he might have using a lot of names and using fake ID's, i will forward this
issue too to United Kingdom government website as a lot of scammers has
connections to people from the UK, also they have been using other people in
Philippines to pretend that they are the accounts officer handling the case
of the parcel being held. SO, if you are same nationality and your parcel is
held in another country, u wont doubt right away as these people sounded
very concern to you talking in your own language.
I emailed this robert to send back the money i pay for the fake penalty, i
was still nice to him, despite of what he did, but the fact the he was very
defensive & acting very mad where im only asking to return
my money, i even ask him ig he works in the sea which is his reason why he
cant pay for the penalty in malaysia, i asked whats the name of his company,
he cant even say it, he was accusing me that im a scammer instead! can u
believe that?! so, i just told him that i dont wanna waste my time on him &
if he doenst want to give my money back, then fine. I told him ill put his
name on complaints board and his picture & our conversation & all the emails
i have with the fake courier & his emails.
I just want this COMPLAINT be seen by people, so other people who is not
aware of this scam, just like me would be careful in talking to people they
met online, Its not bad to meet people online, but some people doesnt even
care & wants to make money by using other people offshore.
I hope UK government will be very keen in chasing this people who have
connections to MALAYSIA.
I have believed once and i blame myself not searching about scams online
before i send the money, and Im still lucky i was not a victim again on the
2nd time when they ask for another payment which is twice higher than the first one.
I have details of each emails i recieved from this fake courier & email from
the ROBERT EDWARD, CHATS ON THE DAY I LAST SPOKE TO HIM WAS INDICATED AS
WELL, WHEN I ASKED HIM STRAIGHT TO RETURN MY MONEY, AND YOU WILL SEE HOW
THIS GUY LIED WHEN HIS CAUGHT ALREADY.
