Kuwait,custums.

[jimeve]

Wife's sister is working in Kuwait and her b/f who lives in London sent her a very expensive package, which included a large amount of cash.

She got a letter from the customs saying they have scanned the package
and know whats inside, and demanding $1,500 before they hand over the package.

They haven't even met yet, only chat room and phone calls, He says, he loves her very much he says hes going to meet her next month, and wants to bring her back to England.

This man has a business in London, and lives in a posh part in Surrey, going to Google his address after .

My wife's worried, so is her sister, iv told her to Phone him up.

Will let you know what happens.

I know they`re very strick in kuwait but i have never experienced recieving packages.I think she has left with no choice but to pay the customs.Amazing how you abide their law but they themselves refuses to abide the law when they go abroad (well,some of them).

i'v just looked at my wifes emails, (naughty) but it seems like a very cleaver
scam, Googled his home Address and looked down his street, only small town houses and blocks of flats, so not very posh. sending iphones laptop,perfume,
gold neckless, 12 grand. lives in a flat,

then theres the customs email address. Malaysia she's working in Kuwait, wtf.

This is the area, he claims he's from.. Richmond, Surrey, but like I said before,
looks ordinary. small town house and flats. dont want to give his exact address over the net. seen the factory he claims to have, its massive. just don't add up. I've already sent email warning to wifes sis in Kuwait. shes waiting from him now.

Richmond is nice,the price of a small flat there will get you a detached three bed in the north,but forget this guy,its 100% a scam,no ones going to send all of those high value goods in a parcel,think about it,if somethings too good to be true it invariably is Also which businessman is stupid enough to stick £12,000 in a parcel?Doesnt add up.I phoned a number given to me a few years ago,lady was offered a job as a nanny in westminster,but she had to pay the guy 2 grand via western union?I phoned the number,it was a mobile,answered by a nigerian

I'm with u ... a scam

No-one sends that amount of cash in the post.
... and a gold necklace ? ... come on, get real !

One (possible) way to check ...
If it's true (which I doubt), he either sent by a courier company (DHL etc)
or by registered post.
Both provide a tracking number.
Ask him to provide it ..... and try & enter it into the relevant site.

I used to work with a guy,Nigerian,very smooth plausible sort of guy,I actually developed a decent rapport with him though he used to ruffle everyone elses feathers He dissapeared from the scene,I didnt see him for ages till one day there was a crime program on TV about a nigerian fraudster who had came here with nothing,and in 5 or 6 years had bought a palatial country mansion,I wasnt really watching the TV,it was just background noise till I heard the name of the guy being mentioned....................
