I would like to ask If anyone from here has use American Express Courier? I am about to received a package send by a friend from Canada who vouches for guaranteed delivery of his packages using the said courier service. I have received a letter from the said courier service saying that I will be charge an Administrative fee since they do not have an office here in the Philippines.I have search the web for answers to this and I am quite curious as how much will they charge me for that? In one article it says 5% of the fee will be charge on top of the one that my sender paid.

Well, I think you are a victim of scam rose. Because I know this scheme...this was happen to my sister before. That she meet someone calling him an Engineer from canada, and assign in nigeria... The said Engineer...send message that he send a packcage. After a few days there is an email that she has a package from a courier company..I forget the name the there is no office but in malaysia... Before she will get the said package. She should pay a charge fee... I said to my sister. That she is a victim of a big syndicate who is more in online. They are also those people in the net that sent message that you win a lotto or anything alike... I suggest you to stay from it, rose... Visit nork...we miss you

Thanks for the response Aerous, Yes that will be my second post as well. It seems the courier service that they use was a cover up for another scam site fasttrack service or something like that. I am not a victim here thanks God because I was forewarned by friends that a similar modus operandi is being done to ladies. In fairness to the guy whose picture the said guy use he may be a past victim too by the same group. I am not gullible enough to pay for that amount or any for that matter since I also receive packages coming from relatives abroad and I do not need to pay since payment was made in advance. Thanks for the tip anyways.

I have visited nork too but it seems you are not around during those times. I miss talking to you guys. Anyways I got plans of reporting this to scam sites so as to warn other would be victims. It is still good to know that there are people such as yourself who are true friends.

It will be about $50 . I know this because someone online says that they have gone through the same experience as you. on the invoice they bill $50 as the administration fee. If you have any further questions contact me.

I have a question since I am planning to go to anti scam forum to warn others who might be gullible enough to take the bait. The same courier service might be run by the same people that created that story on a dating site.
