Trunk Box Recovery

 

Did Someone From Afganistan or Syria Just Sent You an Email in Regards to Getting Money Out of The Country?

You may be contacted via email by someone saying he is enrolled in military overseas (Afghanistan or Syria) and his team has confiscated a bunch of illegal money. You are asked for help in getting the money out of the country.

In a different variation, a lady may say that her husband died and she was left with all his savings. However, she says all the money are in a trunk box, deposited at a security company outside their country –usually an African one, Nigeria or Ghana.

You are asked for help in recovering the box, with a promise that you will be paid 20% of the contents, which apparently are millions of dollars. She will send you the deposit certificate and make you the beneficiary of the box, if only you can help her.

You talk on the phone and she gives you the name of an attorney who knew her husband and will help you in the process. Or, if she claims to be in the military, she may send you pictures from overseas, and her passport, just like the ones below.

 

She is trying to get your trust that she is real, while in reality she just probably stole the picture from the Internet. That being said, the female in the picture above is probably a real army employee, but being taken advantage of.

 

Once trust is established, the scammer then introduce you to a 'government official' or a 'diplomat' that will make the process of recovering the money much easier. She will also send you fake passport copies of this official, as seen below.

 

The scam starts when the lawyer/government official begins asking you for any kind of fees, which will lead to you losing money and never getting anything back. If you get pictures like the ones below, open them up and zoom into detail.

Like you will see below, it is obvious that the name was photoshopped onto an image of a real passport. Look at the difference between the text under the name and the one under nationality.

Here is the secret I want to expose to you, actually I have about US$2.6 Million Us Dollars ( Two Million six Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) here in a security company, please for your kind information, this money is genuine and legal, It’s not a stolen money, this money is my own share i made from oil business with one of the prominent men here in Libya.

And I have already discussed with the Red cross Security Delivery Service manager to move this money to you in your country home address as the only one I can trust. they will arrange the money as package and declare it as diplomatic family valuables at the airport.

    I have been speaking with a Lieutenant Colonel Steven Wooden, US Army, who states that he is deployed in Kabul, Afghanistan. I can’t figure out if he is a real person, or a scammer. He did come up with needing money for a T-S phone, but I refused to send money. Then he came up with me having to apply in order for him to take leave, but with a processing fee to be paid by me. I still didn’t give him any money. Now, he is saying he has deposited money in a security firm in the Netherlands that has emailed him and stated that the company wishes to fold, and that they can deliver the cash to him but unfortunately they can’t deliver to Afghanistan. He has asked me to help him and have the money delivered to me, but I declined. I can’t figure out if he is scamming me.

  12. I got request from girl from US army for my Face book account, she told now working at Afghanistan, Kabul in peace mission. after few days chat going on and she told me she want to come to my country for her vacation. she sent me her United Nation Diplomatic passport copy and her leave approval letter from UN Pentagon house. Then she told me she cant withdraw her money for air tickets from Afganistan banks. Now she request me to sent money for her tickets. I think this is a fake one, i had her passport copy that she sent me. is their any way to check her details. if there any way to check this please let me know.

  13. I received an email from a supposed Mr. Michael Nelson Scalon who claims to be a captain of the US Army stationed in Afghanistan informing that he has deposited in the Red Cross a package with US $ 16,200,000 and requests my collaboration to receive the money in my country by offering me a part of that money. I consider it an attempt to swindle- Your email is [email protected]

    You don’t even have to look past that first picture to know it’s a scam, the photoshop in the picture is just so bad. The one of the left is shopped into the picture, you can tell by the different lightning is different on the two of them. 2nd, the one on the left has also had the nametag blanked out, 3rd it’s against military regulations for hair to fall below the collar of the shirt, which mean the head has been shopped onto the one on the left.

    Another thing you can do, when these scammers contact you, is find out what unit there are in, then google that unit. Once you find the contact info, call them and tell them the situation and have confirm or deny the validity of the scammers story. Because of security they can’t tell you a whole, but they hate scammers pretending to be in the military more than anyone else, but they will make sure you don’t get scammed. Most people never think of actually calling the military to verify a scammers story, but you should really do it.

  16. I’d recieved mail from scamer on 23 February 2018, and thanks that i effort to get other information regarding this kind of scammer. type and style of conversation are similar at your posted conversation of some scammers.

    The content of the box remains our top secret, No one should know the content, only you and i, This box is an electronic box which can only be open by the code, Without the code, no one can open the box.

    The box will depart from Kabul Afghanistan through the Red Cross Islamic jet and arrive in Malaysia, then from there, the flight will go to another nation in United Kingdom which is the final destination, The flight will arrive at United Kingdom on the 2nd March 2018, I shall let you have the contact of the diplomat immediately i receive the update from the Red Cross for you to reach an agreement with him on how and where the box will be delivered to you, You will let him have your full names, address of delivery and your phone numbers for him to make the necessary logistics involved, But if you can fly to United Kingdom and get the box from the diplomat yourself, let me know.

I met this woman on a dating app called skout and her name was "heather Janice" asking me to retrieve two trunk boxes from Ecuador and that she has $650,000 and I would get 15% and i would have to play as her husband. She gave me a certificate to prove what she had owned in the boxes but as much as 15% sounds good when contacting the security company called "GTTCOS" "global security company" through email they asked for a $350 fee and I of course had to look into the address listed on the certificate and nothing shows up, it never existed and the woman "Heather Janice" couldn’t call, send videos, pictures nothing but wanted to have a whole life together after retrieving the trunk boxes and sending her enough money to leave the country. Thank God I didn’t follow through with it! *Be careful who you try to get involve with

    Hello Good Friend
    Re: Your Abandoned Package For Delivery
    I have very vital information to give to you, but first I must have your trust before I review it to you because it may cause me my job, so I need somebody that I can trust for me to be able to review the secret to you.
    I am Mr.Williams G. Emad, head of luggage/baggage storage facilities (Operations,Maintenance,Transportation) here at the Philadelphia International Airport USA. During my recent withheld package routine check at the Airport Storage Vault, I discovered an abandoned shipment from a Diplomat from Africa and when scanned, it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metal Trunk Box weighing approximately 110kg. The consignment was abandoned because the Contents of the consignment was not properly declared by the consignee as “MONEY” rather it was declared as personal effect to avoid interrogation and also the inability of the diplomat to pay for the United States Non Inspection Charges which is $3,700USD. On my assumption the consignment is still left in our Storage House here at the Philadelphia International Airport till date. The details of the consignment including your name, your email address and the official documents from the United Nations office in Geneva are tagged on the Trunk box.
    However, to enable me confirm if you are the actual recipient of this consignment as the assistant director of the Inspection Unit, I will advise you provide your current Phone Number and Full Address, to enable me cross check if it corresponds with the address on the official documents including the name of nearest Airport around your city. Please note that this consignment is supposed to have been returned to the United States Treasury Department as unclaimed delivery due to the delays in concluding the clearance processes so as a result of this, I will not be able to receive your details on my official email account. So in order words to enable me cross check your details, I will advise you send the required details to my private email address for quick processing and response. Once I confirm you as the actual recipient of the trunk box, I can get everything concluded within 48hours upon your acceptance and proceed to your address for delivery.
    Lastly, be informed that the reason I have taken it upon myself to contact you personally about this abandoned consignment is because I want us to transact this business and share the money 70% for you and 30% for me since the consignment has not yet been returned to the United States Treasury Department after being abandoned by the diplomat so immediately the confirmation is made, I will go ahead and pay for the United States Non Inspection Fee of $3,700 dollars and arrange for the box to be delivered to your doorstep Or I can bring it by myself to avoid any more trouble but you have to assure me of my 30% share.
    I wait to hear from you urgently if you are still alive and I will appreciate if we can keep this deal confidential. Please get back to me via my private Email ([email protected])for further directives: You can call me on my telephone number and drop a message at 570-232-4053
    Thank you.

  33. Hi I have also received something like this just days ago

    From: Mrs Alice Idris Abdalla
    Dear Beloved In The Lord
    Praise be to the name of God most high.I am theabove named person from Sudan but now undergoing medical treatment here in London UK.

    I was married to (Late Dr.Ahmed Idris Abdalla) my Husband of his blessed memory by name Late Dr. Ahmed Idris Abdalla, my Husband was a very successful political business man attached mostly to the eastern and central African ruling class before he died, but he was more into business of Gold and Diamonds which formed the main source of his incomes. and our family house burnt down by the rebels during the last crisis in my country Sudan when Janjaweed militant came to our house, We were married for 16 years without a child.And Recently, My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next six months due to my cancer problem (cancer of the lever and stroke). Before the death of my late husband there is this sum $10.5 Million Dollars that he kept in a safe Metallic Trunk Box and deposited it in a Security company there In COTE D’IVOIRE.

    Presently this money is still in the Security Vault there. Having known my condition and believing the doctor I have decided to donate this fund to avoid total loss to CHURCH, ISLAMIC MOSQUE, Less privilege, or better still a God fearing individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.

    I am intrested to use this fund for the propagation of God‘s work in any form whether for Charity, Ministry Evangelical work, Building a Church, Mosque, Clinic, School, Orphanage, Library and drilling of water for the orphans, Local community, Widows, Old Aged, and people living with HIV AIDS who can not afford to pay for health, School and foodstuff or otherwise in relation to God‘s work, Please do not fail to spread the funds across the globe.

    I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this Money and my husband relatives are fighting over the properties and I don’t want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused by their greedy attitude. And I dont want it in away this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision to hand you over this Fund. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I want you to always remember me in your daily prayers because of my up coming Cancer Surgery. Write back as soon as possible, hoping to read from you.

    For easy communication, let me know of your contact detail:

    Full Name:……………….
    Residential / Office address:………………..
    Your phone number:…………………………..
    Present Occupation: ………………………….
    Age:.. ……………………………………………….

    God bless you,
    Mrs. Alice Idris Abdalla.

  34. This is very similar to my e-mail. Same premise as all these others. I was somewhat taken back when I was told of the great sum of money involved and that all this trust was put in me, a complete stranger! Sounds hokey. The guy that’s delivering the package doesn’t know what’s in the box and I’m not to tell him..Hmmm. When the delivery guy contacts me he’s got trouble at the airport and customs people need $700 fees for each trunk. That was the straw..I’m expected to spend $1400 on 2 trunks belonging to a stranger? I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed but, something really smells fishy! The trunk’s owner sends me a picture of himself that’s autographed by some high ranking officer and it’s got a different name on it and on the uniform..What do these bastards do other than sit around and try to think up ways to beat others out of their hard earned money. I guess they figure that anyone who gets involved in accepting money has it coming!

  35. Beware of an Elizabeth Walker Thomas claiming her parents died and left 2 trunks with over 100 million dollars out of Lagos Nigeria

  36. One woman named Mrs. Alicia Aleli told me that she was dying on 17 july 2014. Presently she says she is at Saint Mary’s Hospital in London United Kingdom and the consignment which contents the money in question is in Abidjan Cote D Ivoire. She now still online. Beware

    to me
    Dear Laura,

    I thank you for your response to my mail on your house which i am interested in,i must say that i like your house.I have also read the details and am ready to pay for it once we come in agreement.I am contacting you hoping you will be a trustworthy person and would help me in this situation.
    My name is Dr Aymn Bshar Alshamy,a Medical Doctor by profession and a member of the Red Cross,i am from Syria.I contacted you because of the sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union,which prevents us from securing our financial transactions here.

    I have the sum of $5.9 million dollars which i got from my late brother Fawzi Alshamy,
    who was killed in the al-Omari Mosque Massacre.He was a very successful businessman dealing on gold dust/bars before his death.
    The ongoing civil war in my country Syria have reshaped my future and if we come to a concrete agreement i will send the money to you for safe keeping.I already deposited it with the Red cross in a trunk box and if you are reliable and i can trust you then i will send it to you through diplomatic courier service which is very safe.I need to be sure that i can trust you 100% because the world is evil and you don’t know who to trust on the internet but i pray you are a good person and God fearing and will save my life.I would have called you on phone but telephone communications have been disabled because of the crisis.We can only communicate through the Red Cross communication facilities which only permits me to send emails.

    Please,you are in a position to help me start a new life.I have already lost my wife and my 12 years old son in the chemical attack when i went to work to save the lives of others.I believe you can assist me to transfer my capital to your country while i prepare the documents here to relocate to lithuania and start a new life.I promise to reward you with 20% of my capital in appreciation as soon as i arrive your country.Please help me,what matters to me right now is my life.I hope to receive your response and i will give you more details about the transfer.

    Thanks and may God bless you bountifully.

    Regards,
    Dr Aymn Bshar Alshamy.

  38. I met this girl online and i message her she replied and probably 1month after started to email me deleted her account for the site and we started emailing each other the first few emails were okay nothing about a trunk box but after the 4th or so she mentioned it and said it was her fathers and how the stipulations for getting the box is she needed a fiancee she hasnt asked for money but she has sent documentation of what she says she was going to send.
    She is in lagos Nigeria and was robbed so she says after being there 2weeks shes been there 4months now no family friends no way to get home no cell phone but still has her laptop .
    She wants me to get in contact with the company I guess posing as her fiance so I can get the requirements of how to get the box does this sound like a scam

  39. I received an email from Malinda Gloria Francies who claims US soilder working at Afghanistan.She tlod me that she get the box from Afghanistan terrorist,that box contains USD 10.6 million,she will send to me to keep for saving.So, I requested her identification and US army Notification.But she doesnot send any of her valid identification.Now,I know.Thank for all.

  40. I am talking to a lady in England now who says she is waiting for a,"trunk box," inheritance…she asked me to vouch for her as her husband…I replied to her that I do not get involved with things which do not have full knowledge so therefore I could not help her. Told her when she gets is straight get back with me and we’ll talk more…other women I have told that too have left immediately and never heard from again…this has stayed insisting that she is not part of any scam…I am still talking with her but under no circumstances will I send money

  41. I got a message from Penda Dokie and want to be a friend with me and will be talk to me about her after I contact to her…. that’s all but I didn’t reply…may be same case

  42. Kimberly Stordahl

    I am going threw the same experience now. I have been receiving e-mails from a US soldier and the trunk box is in London. With Oceanonic Logistics. I get pictures from raids and of the soldier. What a sweetheart he is. Thanks for the stop of payment Western Union.

  43. I had received a message from a lady named Malinda Gloria Frances who claims to be a UN peacekeeper working in Afghanistan. She has had no intention at first to do any business transactions. But as I communicated with her through e-mail, she described a box with money amounting to USD 10.6 million she discovered from one of their raids. To my surprise, she wanted to legalize me as the owner of the package and that 30% of the money would be mine. It seemed to good to be true. I proceeded with the transaction hoping that I could gather enough information to guarantee this is a fraud and I was right. I was able to learn more about this so-called trunk box fraud and turns out, this ‘Malinda’ is from Dakar, Senegal and extorted money through an alleged diplomat who delivered the consignment who is in fact a fraud, too. Good thing I never spent a sent on both of these guys.

  44. i am currently receiving an email of this sort but a guy calling himself Barry fox..supposedly a neurosurgeon in US Military service and currently deployed in Iraq for helping US soldiers injured….
    But I knew from the emails he sends….because as far as I know, US government does not pay salary in cash in hand….the money is deposited in baks..so funny….hopefully I know scammers…

  45. i have also been recieving emails and phone calls froma one.. Andres David Uriah. So this is really a scam?

  46. I received a very official looking letter yesterday in the mail. Says he is a lawyer and his name is Andres David Uriah. Same thing with the trunk box. I almost fell for it, but thought I would check here first and see if there was anything similar. It came from Correos Valencia according to the stamp. It has a reference number and all. Thank you for being on here with this kind of information!

  47. I also received an email from global security company to pay 300 us dollars for the trunk box deposited by the late Nicolas roland.the fee were for security charges and custom duties

    be careful of scammers my dear.

  48. i received a e-mailfor transfer the trunk box to my account in singapore for investment
