Faking it — scammers’ tricks to steal your heart and money

Please same happened to me,with a guy who presume he is a ship navigator his so called name is alex phillip 2343 on instagram Then told me to chat on instant message He quickly confess that he loves me etc,i was a fool to believe each his words,we chatted he did everything for i to trust him,this week he told his ship will land in Poland and hes planning to send me some gifts for my birthday,i said i dont need gifts but he insisted and ask to give my address he sounded to be honest,The next day he told me he already sent the gifts which contains expensive things he even showed me picture s of the package,i told him we never met why sending expensive gifts,he said he wants to show how he care etc,he told me i just need to pay custom clearance $750 to be able to get the package The very next day a man who stated he works at custom services he whatapp me by telling me there is a parcel from Mr alex philip from Poland and it has been transit to airport rajiv gandhi and i need to do the payment of $750 then between 24hours i will get the delivery I was being fooled i did have doubt but was afraid also,i told the man its lockdown here i cant give via western union he then said to transfer via bank,he send details of bank account and name ,it was a personal name from kuala lumpur He keeps on pestering me :madam did you do the payment?,finally i transferred the money to this account,i asked the liar alex philip why is it not a company name,he said it might be a secretary account ,he even said he put $30,000 in the parcel,i said i didnot ask neither gifts nor money then why put money he said its a sign to show his love and he will be on vacation by the end of may he will come visit me etc,the money he will use when he come ,he was in a hurry thats why he did not have other way than to put the money in the package Then i truly feel its just totally a story which i have been fooled I told the so called man to re send the parcel to the sender Alex,i dont want any parcel Its ok i have lost $750 which is huge amount but wont be fooled again I then bloked both number But today the so called man from fake custom text from other number and telling me he couldnt get the sender and the parcel is being scanned thus i know that he will ask for money again I re block this new number I am stressed how could i believe all that I lost money but thank i read all your story at the right moment which is similar to me I then know it was all fake just to take money from us Please beware
