Welcome to Scamwarners mystic_dreamer and the most obvious point to make is that there are NO US military personnel currently stationed in Syria, and it would cause a major international diplomatic storm if there were.

Also diplomats don't act as parcel delivery agents and nor do the military. The military prefer to use the airforce and diplomatic mail isn't touched by customs.

This is a scammer and nothing he says is true. It's also rather silly.

If any customs authority imposes a fine then it's payable by the person in possession of those goods, though the carrying of undeclared currency would warrant their arrest not the imposition of a fine, especially in view of it coming from a known terrorist centre, and it certainly wouldn't be payable to a personal bank account, but to an account in the name of the Malaysian Customs authorities.

Travellers could be fined up to RM1 million and/or face imprisonment not exceeding a term of one year if they fail to declare or make a false declaration.

Luckily none of this is true otherwise Homeland Security would want to know why you were receiving large amounts of money from Syria but, don't worry, it's all a lie. There is no money.

Nooooooooooo mystic don't send any money. Please, please ignore and stop communicating with the silly tosspot scammer. The script you posted has been previously used in a scam attempt. If you look at http://www.consumercomplaints.in/compla ... 93956.html you will see much of the same script almost word for word. (You'll need to scroll down a wee way)

I thought as much and never sent anything... this whole thing blew up crazy in 48 hrs. So I would have gotten the
idea then.... but ty and maybe the actual letter that I posted will help someone else with the same thing

I'm glad you were able to avoid being scammed.

You are correct that having the script posted may help other victims. The other thing that would really help other potential victims is if you post the email address the fake "Gen Wilson Paul" is using (and the name alone is another sign that this person is African, not American)--and, if possible, the early emails where he told you about himself (or really about his fake character.) The scammer will reuse these things, and if they are posted, the next victim will hopefully be warned off right away.
