A few months back, I received a text through Facebook, asking me to be in a private chat with this celebrity.
After gaining my trust and becoming friends with him, he tells me he needs my help in getting important documents back home in the US.
Because of the person I thought he was, I was willing the help. Gave him my information as far as address and phone to have the parcel delivered to my home.
I had to pay Exclass courier to have it sent. It was delayed from Australia to Turkey. Turkey put a hold on the parcel saying it was screened and it contained large quantity of money. For it to be released they needed to buy this yellow sticker which would allow the parcel to get to me without anymore scanning.
I paid that amount and it was released and flown to Canada where it is once again on hold. They are demanding . If it’s not paid, they will confiscate the parcel and I will be facing money laundering charges, up to 10 years in prison.
I do not have that kind of money.
When I ask said celebrity for help in getting “his” parcel, he tells me his management can not find out about this. He continues to tell me, try to make arrangements to make payments to release the parcel. Tells me that there’s money inside and when the parcel comes take what I spent.
How does something like this get resolved.
I have definitely been scammed and feel ashamed that I fell for all his lies and deceit.
Please help
Desired outcome: I would like to be refunded $12,500. And send this parcel back to the sender.I want no involvement with Exclass courier or the sender
Exclass Courier was willing to resolve my complaint. They removed me from receiving the parcel and sending it back to the owner. I am very pleased with the outcome
