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.

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.
