Scam Description
i was involved with internet romance by Andrew Charles Carlos, apparently sent me a package as a gift from Syria. When the package arrived, cnd global logistics asked for 2250 fee before releasing the parcel due to its content containing $10000 cash. $2250 was paid and the parcel was transferred to Seattle Washington and i was told another fee for 4500 before releasing the parcel. 4500 was paid and i was told the parcel will be arriving on January 24, on that day i received an email stating that my parcel was on hold by the customs/ federal Bureau of Investigation at Indiana, with the notice that i have to pay the sum of 6500 USD for the delivery process to continue.
also stated in the email, “we were talking with the customs; they said the last victim of this case was charged the sum of $20,850 USD., but due to our explanation we made to them, telling then this is a military package and probably you might not aware that such amount of money is in the box, that they should just help us and reduce the price of the tax. We came to the conclusion that you have to pay 6500 USD”
