I am glad that I found this web page on time! This week I was very close to be a victim of the GLOBAL LINK COURIER SERVICE scam.
About two months ago, I met a guy from London from a dating web site. His “name” is Julius Wood and according to his description, he is a 42 years old guy, divorced and with a small little girl.
Julius seems to be a very respectful person, and we chatted eventually during the week and when he was not online, he sent short but nice e-mails. After chatting for two months, he started mentioning that I was in his mind a lot and asking about my shoe and clothes sizes, for me it was an estrange question but he said that when he believes that someone is really special, he likes to buy clothes and shoes.
One day, out of the blue he said that he just bought me some designers clothes and that he want it to delivered to me, I took some precautions and gave him my work address, were I have a lot of security personnel. He disappear for a couple of days, mentioning that he was going to travel to Kuwait and that before he left he sent me the package by GLOBAL LINK COURIER SERVICE, with a HP computer, a diamond ring, clothes, perfumes, watches, etc. and that he has hidden 20.000 pounds inside the laptop battery!
With that amount of money, I thought that he was buying me, besides, sending a diamond ring for engagement.. after only 2 months chatting? Hmm this is not good. Besides, he also sent a hotel and plane reservation indicating that he was coming to visit me in November.. maybe for that moment I thought that this may be real, as when I entered the global link page, they redirect me to the itinerary of the package. Anyway, after 3 days, when the package “arrived” to Malaysia, I received a call and an e-mail from a guy called: Ms Norell, from the Malaysia office requesting a payment of 620$ as they found the money hidden in the laptop. I called Julius for the first time an for my surprise, he hasn’t British accent and even though he was on an “oil platform in Kuwait”, the phone connection was really good!.. he read the e-mail and got scare by it and requested to me that I have to pay for it. I mentioned that I can’t for many reasons and he said that when the money arrived I will have plenty to recover that amount that I spent. When I hang up the phone, I definitely start checking all the names and company history and I found out that it was definitely a scam. I was not going to pay for something that, first, was stupid to do, as who on earth placed 20.000 inside a laptop in the times that we live right now? No one!
So anyway, I sent this link to the global link currier company and they said it was not true..bla bla bla and they disappear. This is the information that they sent me in order to do the money transfer by western union:
