Their self introduction:
Ace Speed Delivery Services is a global supplier of transport and logistics solutions. We have offices in more than 20 countries and an international network of partners and agents.
The fake courier shows no location and has no contact details.
What they have is the signature of the former US Senator John McCain on their "about us" page:
The fake site is mostly used in military romance scams. In the correspondence with their victims, they are using the email address
info@acespeedelivery.com.
Male Nigerian scammers pretending to be female US / UK military personnel in various war zones are targeting men on social sites, dating sites or by sending out of the blue emails. After a brief correspondence (a day or two), meant to gain their victims trust, the "ladies" are asking the victim to receive a parcel with money allegedly found during one of the raids.
Same scammers also pretend to be European or US business men traveling abroad and sending parcels through the same fake courier.
For delivering the bogus parcel, the victim is asked to get in contact with the fake courier company.
The fake courier company will provide a link to a tracking page, also fake, and a bogus tracking number. The victim will be able to see on the fake page the movement of the non-existent parcel to their location. Shortly after the parcel apparently enters the victim's country, the courier will notify the victim that the parcel was stopped by Customs and a fee need to be paid for the release.
Since January 14, 2021 when it was created, the scammers behind the fake courier tried to scam over 400 people.
