I recently met a friend on-line thru tagged.com and after several emails he had asked for my postal address as he was wanting to send me a parcel with some pictures and a present for me. I hesitated but had given him my address. The supposed parcel was sent on 23rd Feb an email was received from my new friend stating that he had inclosed some cash which i advised that i will return to him as i refuse to accept monetary gifts. On the 27th of Feb i received the email correspondence as below. I have pasted the emails received from the company demanding the money to clear the parcel with the Malaysian Customs:

Dear Ms.
Further to your mail of which you are requesting that the Clearance fee should be deduct from the money in the parcel, which it is not possible because your parcel is being held by the Malaysian Airport Authority and the parcel could be release to us if only you have goten the Clearance.
The only way we can make any assistance to you is when you can pay up to 60% to 70% of the Administrative and Clearance fee, then we would make effort to negotiates with the Authority. Please act fast because we have to get the clearance quickly in order for your parcel to be release to us so I can make my trip to the New Zealand and deliver your parcel to you without any delay.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Mike Johnson.

Dear Ms.
Further to your mail which you are asking who is Mr. Macarthy Bartlett. He is the Diplomat in charge of Clearance and Administrative processing and since you are making the payment by Western Union, you cannot send it to the company name but to the name of the official in charge of your Clearance and Administrative processing.
Note that we are highly Diplomatic Delivery Services that we make delivery for Diplomats, top Governmental Official and Senior Citizens of the United Kingdom, so we cannot involve in fraud activities. We look forward to hearing from you.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Mike Johnson.
