Package delivery scam — delivered to your inbox

Good afternoon, I am expecting a gift from bf. He has sent it with his friend who was able to leave work to be with family. The parcel was sent from Belgium. I have received the tracking number. However they are asking for $4000.00 Canadian to be wired using money gram to Firuz Barakaev in Istanbul Turkey from the Customs and Border Protection authority in United Kingdom. My parcel is not in Turkey. Its in London, England ...does this sound odd? The shipping company starline Express Delivery does not have a toll free number & the email the link to contact them does not work. This is the email I received: This is to notify you that your parcel lacks clearance waiver seal. We were warned tentatively by the cover letter to your package never to allow the package to be opened; as it contains highly sensitive military materials. Meanwhile, the Customs and Border Protection authority in United Kingdom insisted to carry out a compulsory search on all parcel on arrival, except for ones with clearance wavier seals. Once search is conducted and unusual item is found; the parcel will be seized. Military material(s) with no seal can be tagged 'unusual item' for it is often a way used by the terrorists to pass cash and weaponry across borders. Moreover, we have identified your parcel already to the customs as a 'non searchable' consignment and therefore, expect you to get the required seals as soon as possible. Below are the required seals to be procured and its amounts: The Custom Clearance and Duties Seal: $ 1,360 USD Non Inspection Tag: $ 1,510 USD. You are expected to make a total payment of $ 2,870 USD through our account office in Turkey using the following Money Gram information: Name: FIRUZ Surnames: BARAKAEV Location: Istanbul, Turkey. Note: Once payment is confirmed, the requisit seals will be procured and crested on your parcel to excuse it from all routine searches until it gets to your doorstep. Please assist if this is fraud/scam, I have not sent anything also there is no address for the recipient of the funds to confirm identity.

I received a call saying that I have received a courier from USA which is of 20-21 kg and they are asking me to pay rs35000 for that. What do I have to do?

At least once a week i have been receiving texts messages from someone claiming to be FedEx and wanting to make a delivery. For one thing I had not been expecting any type of delivery and also, each text is from a different phone number and they leave a different web address to contact. numbers: 1-347-254-2912 ; 1-929-213-7252; 1-585-365-5659; 1-346-261-5736 to list a few.

Hello I'm here to seek advice I had a boyfriend true online he send package true nippon air cargo then when it reach to philippines they ask me for tax pay 15,700 php after there's money inside the box now they ask me for 40,000 because the costom said..the track # NCA 02179027539156 it is scam or real..

Hello I received an email saying: EXPRESS DELIVERY The delivery could not be made. We are missing some information & pending shipping fees. Shipping number: #CS279003594DE Estimated Delivery: 1-2 days Yes I have bought stuff online and am waiting to receive them however I have paid the shipping fees when I bought the stuff and I searched the shipping number on a world wide shipment tracking website and it says the order was successfully delivered in July. Also in that email it didn’t state what the order is and had none of my details in it. Could this be a scam?

Yes I reserved a email from a person saying that I have two packages to be delivered that I need to pay $575 to be delivered from Germany via Ría money transfer

i have someone met in facebook i order to him an iphone 11 pro max and give the a downpayment now when the item was about to ship in my location he said that they mispacked my item.. instead of 1 iphone they deliver 3 iphone.. now he said that i need to pay 10,000 for the 2 iphone before it gets to jordan.. because when it gets to jordan if not paid they are going to destroy the item.. He gave me tracking no. and website to track my package.. He said they deliver it using DHL then he gave me a handwritten with a stamp of gurantee and approve.. but the website he gave me was not DHL but continentalexlogs he said that it is service under DHL.. Is this a scam?

I met a friend on Facebook he is in USand he said he is going to sent valuable things,so he said he have sent and I receive an email says I have to pay R1600 my parcel to be delivered and I did after I received another email says during scanning they found huge money inside the package so they need fine for R4000 and I asked the sender if there was money inside and yes was the answer and I paid after I receive another email saying I have to pay R3, 500 for tax and customs so I'm now curious that this is a scam because the sender is just saying just pay because they is a huge money inside the package and at first when I pay they said they will deliver after payment and they never mention about R3, 500,so is this real or it's a scam

It will arrive 2 /3 days in the Philippines.. I wonder it already arrive just a day and then someone contact me on email probably the name was the cargo shipment safety world delivery logistics service. They told me that my package already arrived and they found out that there are expensive and valuable materials inside so i need to pay 300$ for the processing fee.. And i did i sent money through gcash here in the Philippines but the package didn't arrive as i expected.. Then after that they email me that they found out that there's money inside so i need to pay the certificate of money laundering worth of 37,500..i strongly believe that this is really a scam.. Am i right?
