I get to know someone who lived in Switzerland, we be friend for a month. & he was shipped something to surprise me. 3days Ago the parcel been shipped & now the parcel was arrived in Malaysia. But the parcel been hold on due to the delivery charges cost for rm3800. I not sure it’s a scam or what? Really hope for helps. Cause I don’t wish if it’s real & my friend get disappointed.

Did you know what the guy is shipping? The amount is not logic.

Furthermore, if it is a surprise, the shipping would have been paid for. For shipping charged to your end, the sender would have informed you in advance and it is something expected by you.

Looks like you have been in contact with scammer smile.gif

Typical scam
Your swiss friend probably uses profile of handsome 40something pilot who lost his wife due to terrible accident

Or young stewardess

Even the parcel delivery service website is a fake.
It's a template that people copy paste for a dozen times for all kinds of scam.

Yes it's a scam. Ignore and cut all contacts with your friend.

In the mean time do visit the Kopitiam subforum. There you will meet REAL friends.

NO NO NO NO. Don't pay any money. IT IS a parcel scam.

Even the damn website is so basic. The company info feels so fake! Working through whatsapp is a BIG BIG flag with no viewable physical address.
