 On Friday, March 24, I was browsing the internet checking out bourbon available on the secondary market. I had bought some previously, and I came across a website that had some bourbon I had been searching for at a very reasonable price. I selected 3 bottles I wanted, put them in my cart, and proceeded to fill out the information about my address and phone number. I was surprised to find out that they did not take PayPal or credit cards, but that they accepted Venmo for payment. Not long after I completed filling out my information, I received a text message from (209)213-2435. The text message gave me the Venmo information I needed to make the payment. I tried to complete the transaction through Venmo for almost 2 hours but was unable to do so. I sent a text to the person who gave me the payment information, and they gave me a different Venmo account to use, with the Venmo tag @Mat897, using the name Matt Scotch and the code 7845. The person told me to try to invite Matt Scotch as a friend, but I was still unable to complete the transaction. The person then told me I should use the Zelle app on my phone; that I could go to my bank’s website and download it there. I did that, and I was given the name Kevin Chandra to use, and the email address [email protected]. After I completed all that, Kevin (at least that is who he purported to be) told me I needed to send him a copy of the confirmation email to show him that I actually paid the money ($249.98). He told me that I would receive a confirmation email from his company the next day with the tracking information. He said that his company uses prioritymailcourier.com and that my package would be delivered Monday. I was going back and forth with him for several hours, trying to get this transaction settled. It was after 2:30am before I finally got everything settled, and I didn’t think about the fact that I wasn’t going to get any delivery info until the next day, yet he was on the phone with me. The next day, Saturday, March 25, I received an email from prioritymailcourier.com, thanking me for using their wonderful company to deliver my package, but that my package was being delayed until I paid them a refundable insurance fee of $210 immediately. They explained that I would receive $200 back when my package was delivered, and that according to Section 7, Article 4 (USA-07/4 039746/95) of 13th July 1999, IRBCT, customized packages being transported within Canada and the US and across any country in general would have to be registered into the USA Insurance scheme. The email went on to give the advantages of refundable insurance, and that I needed to pay $210 and when the package arrived, I would receive $200 back. I responded to that email, saying I was not interested in the refundable insurance, that the company shipping the package to me did not say anything about my needing to pay an additional $210, and that I thought this was a scam. Another email came shortly after that, saying they were sorry about the inconvenience, but the fee was necessary in order to secure the package, and I would receive $200 back when it was delivered, and that they were not scamming me. I immediately texted the number I had for shopwhiskeyonline.com, (209-213-2435) and asked what this was all about, that it wasn’t mentioned to me when I ordered the whiskey, and I was told the fee is refundable upon delivery and I had nothing to worry about. They also said my tracking number would be updated and I would receive the package safely. By now, I was pretty sure I had been the victim of a scammer. I called my bank, but it was after 3pm, and *****, the person who answered the phone, told me their fraud division was already closed for the day, and she would have the manager of the bank follow up on the situation tomorrow. She also said she didn’t think anything could be done to get my money back, as I willingly paid them, despite the fact that the entire situation was a scam.
