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.
>@ lkjl;
I think this is the same person we are talking about.. Do we have the same address? i post his picture there, have u seen it?
I saw him twice using webcam... and its the same pic i see when we are chatting on yahoo.
I think he is just using the same website premium freight express delivery..
There is also another website where u can post this complain, and it will be published to all search engines even facebook, so atleast people will be alarmed and aware about this scam.
Heres the site: http://www.scamchecker.com/
U know after i experienced this Troma, i read & search a lot about scams and other site where i can post this complain and scam.
That site is organization that is connected with the FBI and ur post will also helps people & the authority to investigate & put a stop on this horrible scam.
the letter of the scammer is the same as what my cousin have. he met this person at myyearbook.com and they chatted for a while. just last week she said that the person named Robert Collins will send her flowers so she gave her information. as we are talking yesterday, she said that Robert sent him flowers, necklace, watch and also the sum of 4500 pounds. so i told her lets wait if its true and that would be 3-4 days according to the sender's email. the scammer uses robert_collins39@yahoo.com email. he then said that he'll be back on his work at an oil company because he was on leave and told my cousin to contact him when she receives the mail. we checked the courier and we were amazed that its true because it has a website! But i still doubted because i couldn't find the primary website which is the www.premiumfed.com online.
Fortunately, to kill my time at the office i searched some information about the freight business and there i found your link. Thank you very much for posting what you have experienced. Its really a great help although we wont be sending any money if they were to call my cousin. 4500 pounds is really a big money that no one will surely gave it away that easy.
and just recently this guy message my cousin telling her to remove his name on some sites which my cousin didn't know about because I was the one who posted her complaints without her knowing which site is it. He told her that if she will not remove it, he will use my cousin's picture and alter it the way he wants. He can do whatever he wants with it on my opinion, it doesn't matter to us because it is only a picture and with the technology today everything can be edited and altered in any way. He will only appear as a loser in my own opinion. If he is reading this, he can do whatever he want with his miserable life. We don't care because we aren't the losers. We do the best we can to earn money, we strive hard because we want to eat our meals and spend our money with clean conscience and not worry about karma unlike these scammers who fool people just to earn some. They are truly the losers. May God still bless them in spite of what they do.
this complaint board is very useful...i think we met the same person...now he was under the name of rowland edward...we have the same story...he will send wrist watch necklace rose flower and 4700 pound...wow...its too good to be true knowing that he is still stranger to me...that's why i searched in the web...and find out this scam...thank you thank you...i did my part on this i post his name expose this scam in the dating site where he found me...to inform our kababayans regarding this scam...again thank you...christmas is coming and so deceivers are just around the corner. BE AWARE...BE VIGILANT!

I accepted a friend on Facebook on 25th May 2016
which I usually ignore but it seems like a decent
person ( from the photographs) and also link to
friend's friend. I have added friend's friend
before and it was ok . This time the person named
Curtis Lee ( mobile : +[protected] from 14, Saint
Johns Park London ) immediately send greetings
over the messenger which i responded as a usual
friend. He talk about his lost wife and he was
lonely and has been cheated by 2 girlfriends in
the past and now looking at Asia for girlfriends
which he thinks are not cheaters like the
caucasian. I was truthful and told him that i am
happily married and empathized with his
situations. We chatted frequently after ..talking
about his work ( as marine engineer ) . I told him
i was a housewife but a property agent too. He
said he wants to appoint me as his property
manager for his future investment in Singapore. I
even shortlist some property project for him to
consider as per his request. He told me that he
will be flying to Liverpool for a contract with
the govertment federal to lay the piping in the
east sea of England.He messenger me with the news
that he has won the contract and it's worth USD
$950k. He was very happy because i supported him
during this time but all i do was give him best
wishes as most friends would.He even send me
pictures of a car that he would buy for his mom.He
then said he has bought me some items as
appreciation and would like my address to send it
to. He even send pictures of it. I told him that
all the items are available in Singapore and that
he need not trouble himself. I said just a Thank
you would suffice as i did not do much for him and
do not deserve anything from him. But he said he
wants to show his appreciation in a big way and
that he sees me as a sister. He insisted that if i
dont supply address he has to leave all the things
he bought in the hotel and fly home to London. So
after much pressure and he seems to be in urgency
to send due to catching his flight, i gave him my
address. At night, he messenger a long email and
attaching the courier service of the items that he
has send all the items but he included more things
in the parcel that was to be send which are some
jewelly and a usd$20k as he has no time to ask me
for my account as he has rushed offshore to begin
the project. I suspect everything seems so rush
and must be a scam but I gave in to benefit of
doubt. I wanted to believe good in everyone. 3
days later the courier servive from malaysia ( tel
no : +[protected] ) by the name anita called just
like any courier service and said the parcel has
arrived in Malaysia and transiting. She said that
the parcel is overweight and that i need to pay
SGD$3500 so that she can send the same day. I
called the sender, he said i better pay because
the money he included can be use to offset the
amount that i am paying . But Anita gave me a
private account and said this is for custom
clearance. I felt something fishy and discussed it
with the sender. He keep saying just make sure i
get the parcel soon coz he wants to see the joy. I
question Anita why pay to private account and not
the custom clearance account. She said in order to
deliver by the evening, i have to pay to the
account she provided ( Robiah Binte Abdul Wahab.
Bank DBS current acct, AC no : [protected] SGD
$3500 ) . I made the transfer through the bank and
and after a few hours, Anita called and said the
scan discovered some money in the parcel and for
custom clearance they now need SGD5K. Which again
after talking to sender... i paid to the same
account provided. Next day, i was supposed to
received the parcel, anita called and said did i
know that the sender has enclosed more that USD
$1million in the parcel? I told her i have zero
ideas as i was only told there are further
surprises. Now she said i need to pay govt tax
which is 6% USD$54k = SGD$84K) . I asked for proof
of scan but they ignore my request. I called
sender that the amount is exorbitant and beyond
me. He got sensitive and said he felt hurt by my
remarks. Because i also ask him for proof of
identification which he claim he doesnt have it
with him as he is offshore and cannot do much with
no website etc... ) I said if he is rich, he
must have some friends who can help him pay the
tax ...or call his lawyer. He said he is a man
with pride and that he is so rich that he dont beg
or asked favours from his friends ) .. Then i told
him i cannot accept the parcel as the money could
be from laundering and he claimed that there is a
document from bank and lawyer that this money is
legal and i need to help him from my end to make
sure parcel gets to me. I keep saying i cant
because i have exhaust all my savings since i am
only a housewife I dont have much money and told
him that i felt embarassed tat he sees my
financial situations! He started blaming me for
leaving him with this problems and let his parcel
get lost etc... Then we ask Anita if she could
just send back to Sender.. Anita told me if i pay
for the flight (SGD$12k payment to Aidoro Bin
Mydin, POSB/DBS bank : account [protected]),
sender will be able to received the parcel in 3
days. Then i asked the sender since you said you
are off shore who will help you receive? he said
he can send his staffs but prefer me to pay the
govt tax and get the parcel to me which is better.
Anita refused to refund the $8.5k as a contra for
the air ticket and said this amount will be
refunded in full after parcel has been returned.
But next day she said that the parcel cannot be
send without the insurance certificate (SGD$4200).
By this time, i know that all this are a confirmed
scam and told my husband. He asked me to abandon
the whole idea. Therefore, I send messenger a
message that i cant raise the money and told anita
that i am not pursuing the parcel anymore. Sender
Curtis called and demanded if i have spoken to the
banker or my husband. He said he was insulted that
i think the money he wants to give me is from
laudering. I told him that this is my last
communication and that i know I have been scam and
out of goodwill i have help to try to pay for the
airfare of parcel back. Anita then send me a
message that if no action, items will be
constificated by the govt and no one can access
the parcel and that the custom is very upset with
me and will not refund the $8.5k custom clearance.
She also did not get back to me if $12k paid for
the ticket to send back the parcel will be
refunded if items get constificate in Malaysia.
The Guy Curtis Lee has also deactivated his
Facebook account after i have made the payment and
when confronted he said people deactivated their
profile all the time. He was angry and upset that
i have doubted him and his friendship. I hope by
writing the report ...people would be more aware
about how creative the scammers can be and that
they work in a group as a business. they can
collaborate with each other in different
countries! what's worse is that they misused the
trust of frienship to get benefits for their end.
