He keeps doing his advance fee for a consignment of a trunk metal box supposedly full of money:

Good Morning,

My name is Mr. Mohammad Effendi, a citizen of Indonesia but live and work here

in Syria, I was operating a successful Real Estate company here before the uprising

started. The Rebels took advantage of the situation and decided to raid my company, but

I was lucky I was able to still have something left.

I got to know about you when I searched your country through web.

Everyday, I wake up with fear of the Rebel coming again to take what is left, I am

married with 3 kids, and I plan to give them the best life in a peaceful country.

Right now, all the money I have remaining is $3,500,000 USD that is left with me, I

need you to confirm if you can assist me receive this fund since its difficult for me to

leave Syria now. I am still here because of my family, I cannot cross the border with

them . I want you to keep this transaction confidential, and I need you to assure me of

your trust and total commitment to this transaction.

The Red Cross charity officials come from different countries here every day to bring

relief materials and drugs for people here, so I can easily give them anything to deliver

for me through the Red cross delivery company to any country I choose, already, I have

packaged the money into one of the medical trunk box used by the Red Cross to move

medical supplies, the box come with combination lock, which makes it impossible for

anybody to open it. All I need to do is hand it over to the Red cross agent and declare

it as family valuable, and then she can send it out through courier service to which ever

destination I choose.

You will receive 30% of the total funds for your assistance, and keep the remaining

70% safely for me, hopefully you and I can invest into Real Estate or any other good

business.

Please reply to my private email address [email protected]

as soon as possible so that we can proceed.

Regards

Mr. Mohammad Effendi
=====================================================

Zedexpresslogistics.com the courier service he allegedly used is a fully functional but fake website for tracking the shipment. Whois.com domain name tracing shows a very recent domain name.

Ken Philips the courier will contact the victim using HOTMAIL.com to ask the victim to send a "non-inspection fee" of a ROUND figure, say $3500, or come to Toronto with the cash to pay the fee and pick up the box. Of course there is no such thing "non-inspection fee" and there is no Zedexpresslogistics and no box and obviously no money.
