I think i have been cheated.
this is a bit different from what everyone has written in. i carelessly sent 2235.00 , pounds to the so called courier company. for administration fees.The sender is from UK they were lucky as i had just received my increment and didn’t think twice.
. The sender was someone i met online and he said he was sending me a parcel. This parcel contained some personal effects plus a large some of money in USD and Pounds. I see now as when he said the parcel would arrive i got a call from a local, when i asked her to clarify she was quite reluctant, the name i compiled , and now the customs are in on it and are asking for 5000.
( but i think it is) I really think it is a slick scam because the sender is supposedly to be overseas but keeps regular contact. i really didn’t think anything amiss until the sender and the so called courteous courier company assistant keep pestering me to send money. i really feel so ashamed and stupid… i hope , others will be more fortunate than me.if only there was a way to get back the money but i know it is gone.
