Briefly explain what happened during the scam. :
I have receive friendship in Instagram in February, 2024. He said he is an engineer in Marathon Company who works in Scotland. He is half Thailand and half Korean. He pretends in love with me and promises to marry me after his contract ended. When he asked my picture, I sent my picture in using masker. And I manage it so that the picture only can be seen once. We often doing make a phone call and ever once make a short video call (only few seconds). When I ask for video call, he always refused by the reason that it's prohibited to vid call in the office, or the internet connection in his apartment is bad for video calling. Frankly, from his pronunciation and dialect I felt something stranger that he speaks not in a Korean dialect. I can feel it because I'm an English Teacher so I can recognize people's dialect/ pronunciation. He never talked about Korean. I ever greet him in Korean Language written also in Korean Alphabet but he didn't respond it.
In March 2024, he told me that his bank account in has trouble so that he can't afford to buy lunch. First, he asked me to send 150 pounds, but I didn't respond it. The next day, he begged only for 500 XXXXX. I felt pity to him and at that time I thought that if he deceives me he will get his karma (He mention about "karma" in his FB profile). I sent him the money from post office (I did not transfer it through my mobile banking 'cause I don't want to have any history about this monetary activity in my Banking System). But, I'm curious that the receiver of the money is not him. He said that he asked his colleague in Indonesia who can help him to convert IDR to Pounds.
In March 2024, he told me that he was chosen to get new contract in Turkey with amount of earning money much more than in Scotland. He was the leader of his 7 colleague. He only has 2 days to prepare his movement from Scotland to Turkey. He said he has some luggage and he can't bring them all to Turkey. So, he asked me to keep his luggage. I gave him suggestion to sell some of his items in Scotland and later he can buy the new one in Turkey. Or, donate his items in Scotland. But he refused and give me reason that the items are important for him so that it should be kept. I asked him to send them all back to Korea (to his mother) but he still try to negotiate with me. He said that I'm the most important person for him and I am the first person that he will meet if he get vacation / break time in Turkey. So, he asked me to keep his important luggage.
Well...I have think hard to refuse it. I said that it will be my problem to receive some package from overseas There will be some taxes and clearance to be paid. More over, he didn't give me detailed about what inside his luggage. It can be grasp tightly (seize) in embassy. So, I ensure him that I don't have any responsibilities if the luggage wont be delivered successfully to my address. Also I said that I don't have any responsibilities to pay taxes and clearance.
He answered that the courier company he use is usually do home delivery service (He often uses it to send to Korea) so I won't stress toward it anyway. He still asked me detail about my name, address, email and phone number. I'm still thinking how can I manage "his game" so that i won't get involved in this game. Then I gave him my nick name and phone number Then, I create new email address and give it to him. How about address? I gave him fake address.
Later, he sent me videos when he went to courier company. He also sent video when he entered the room full with packages. I asked him how he can enter that room freely (It should be prohibited to enter the room for general person who has not in charge or who is not the official of that courier company) But, he said that because he already knew the staff and used to sent package to Korea so he can enter that room.
A few moment later, he sent me the picture of his luggage and shipment receipt and asked me to track it. The website is Tranx Logistic LLC Delivery Service. The tracking code is XXXXX. He also informed me that he has paid all the local and delivery fees from Scotland to Indonesia. Then I am going to pay for delivery from XXXXX to my house address. Though, he wanted to pay but it said that the receiver whose name on the package will be the one to pay with my currency when it get to XXXXXX. So, he hide some cash in the package inside one of the dresses and it's 10.000 pounds. He said it was surprises for me. It said that the package should be arrived in Indonesia on 12th March 2024.
The problem now is I know it's probably fraud. But, I'm afraid if I am get involved in this fraud because I've already given my name, email and phone number. How if the package opened by embassy officer and track me as the one who responsible with it? How if the money he sent is false note? How if the luggage contains drugs?
Did you send any money to the scammer? If so, how much?: Yes.
