Has anyone ever seen any courier related scam in India? My friend who is a widow is looking to remarry and got reached out by a divorced guy from US through shaadi.com. He chatted with her 6-7 times and took her address to say he wanted to send her a chocolate on her birthday. He sent the courier screenshot and that has items like Rolex watches, Mac book air, Gucci purses, a gold chain, chocolates and a rose and a brown packet (?) and the contents weigh 10kg. Something does not feel right.

Next he will say courier got stuck in custom.
Step 2. She will be asked to pay an amount like 2 or 10 lakhs to get the shipment worth much more.
You get it from here.

This world is evil ....

OP, I hope you gave a headsup to your friend.
You didn't ask me for this suggestion, but I still wanted to go ahead and say this. Your friend may not be in the best phase to find love online. Online is a bad place Specially if a person is in vulnerable phase of life.

Is he the prince of zamunda or Nigeria ?

Ya scam lol

Happens everywhere. Not just in India. Block him

Oh no

If this is a scam, and she knows more details about this guy, make him famous on all social media sites...

It’s turning out to be 100% a scam. My friend sent me the pictures and I looked through them to get some clues from background or some things I can see. The picture is of a Russian guy. The address he used is of a white couple in California. The phone number looks like an internet phone. The name yielded no result. The courier company seems fraud too. This seems like a multi person operation. One person alone can’t manage all that.
Most we could do is make people aware of the scam so they are careful if it is happening with them or someone near them.

Hi 🐠, need your help/suggestions. We moved into our new townhouse 4 months ago and I’ve been noticing a car parked outside with 3-4 (young folks) people sitting in it for past 3-4 weeks.

I’m first time homeowner so want to make sure I’m not doing anything wrong
