A so called Mr Greg Thomson, "officer in charge", contacts the victim asking for "Clearance Fees $15,850", before sending the bogus two "corrugated boxes" full of money.
There is no money and no box. The so called company supposedly located in Turkey is registered by someone pretending to be in Ontario, Canada, while using "RBC Royal" as his name.
The fraudsters are in Nigeria.
