This is a scam where the scammer wants you to believe there is a lot of money waiting for you in a box, which will be send to you by a courier company or a diplomat. The scammer doesn't mention where the money comes from in most cases, it's just there. This is a sure sign of a scam, money doesn't grow on trees, or suddenly appear in mysterious bank accounts. Don't fall for this scam!
