A man sent you 900 pounds, laptop, iPhone and so on. And gave you British embassy details.

Then British embassy said they xan deliver through UBA if you pay 7500. Accept let's see how you pay the 7500. Let's see the account details.

Before we conclude.

But when did British embassy become DHL grin

Im mistaken, they said that i will do the payment in any of the bank uba, first bank or others before they will deliver it in any locality of my choice said by British customer officer care not the man, that they have a way of delivering goods to their customers.

I don't get. You're probably not gay or interested in a relationship with him and he's sending you goods through the British embassy as if that's DHL, please where is the scam undecided

I just have to coming because it wouldn't be funny if you fall for this little prey. Its definitely a scam many people have been a victims of this trick.

Tell her(the customer care) to send you the account number and post it here with the number you are calling.You should know a diff between a company account and individual account.

They can be traced with the information provided.

Skyman that is a fake document. The stamp is even more fake. Just play along and get the bank details and post all the details here to warn others. Please don't fall for this cheap scam. Also the embassy won't be in charge of sending parcels to you. Its just a tactic to make you believe him undecided

See the document

Notice how the font of ur name, the senders and the customer service contact are bolder than the rest of the text? Cheap photoshop.
Ask him if the document is with him. I Tl him to snap it on a table and send.
This is just a doc on the system that he can edit a thousand times

Besides how did he get ur pin?

Hahahahaha... Skyman200 listen to me very well, it's a scam. Too bad I'm seeing this late. The same pin added me(i googled the pin and saw your story). He said he was david clayton, divorced just the me story as yours. That his wife died and he needs a gay partner (imagine the contradiction, a gay man marrying a woman in Australia). Asked if I was gay, I said no. He asked for a webcam chat through iphone or apple laptop. I said I didn't have any, he then suggested that he sends me one(for my mind I say see this idiotic fraudster), I told him ok he should send. He said he would snap the pic of the laptop later. I didn't have patience to wait for more scam lines so I told him I had a laptop that he shouldn't bother. The fool deleted me. I sensed scam the moment he added me. Hope you didn't fall for the cheap scam?
