Recenly, my friend friend found a site with cheap iphones and decided to get in contact with the person ton the edvert. She ended up getting an email from a company asking her to make the payment via Western Union before shipping the parcel. She ended up spending 500 euros and the sales manager (or at leat that is who he claims to be) asking her to pay another 500 euros before allowing the delivery.
After informing me of the incident, she was convinced it was a scam, and of course she contacted the authoritoes, yet, we decided to inform as many as possible before another young person ends up losing their money.
To convince us that it is not a fraud, Mr Mike Epps (the person in contact) sent links to check the company which is registered in the UK (although the parcel was supposed to arrive from Nigeria - the company has braches all over the world), as well as another link to track the parcel.
The individual still tries to keep in contact with us and are now concern.
What should we do?
