We met on a dating app last year. He messaged me through email, but I didn’t reply right away because I couldn’t remember him anymore since I had already uninstalled the dating app from my phone. After a year, he messaged me again, and this time I replied. We started exchanging conversations every day, but what I found strange was that he never replied immediately—it would take him around 24 hours to respond. He explained that they had specific communication rules, so our conversations were limited since he claimed to be a pilot. After a few days of chatting, he asked for my personal information because he said he wanted to send me a gift and that he had already gone shopping for me. I gave him my personal details. Two days later, Global Express Logistics emailed me with a tracking number and a delivery schedule for the parcel. But before that, I had already searched on Google about this email address: 5476geocharles546@gmail.com—and I found out that it was actually a scam. I’m certain that the logistics company will eventually email me asking for tax payments for the package, but thankfully, I checked it on Google beforehand. George Charles also told me what the parcel contained, and it was exactly the same as what other scammers usually say: pictures of him, a ring, bags, chocolates for my family, and even foreign currency so that I could rent a condo unit where we would supposedly stay once he arrived here.
