Very unfortunate. Use western union, bank transfer or bitcoin transfer next time. After getting the bitcoin, use luno to convert to naira. |

post=86216484: No lawyer can crack this one. This is a case of money laundering, if I manage to make sense of it. going the legal way will certainly lead to the confiscation of the cash and investigation of both the sender and the receiver. The only small window to explore would be direct negotiation with those having the cash. |

abiolap89: Bro nay! nay!! nay!!! you are not saying the truth. No sane Nigerian living abroad will send such cash via postage bro its not possible. There are 100s of money transfer company that can do the transaction with no stress then why raw cash of such amount posted Moreso you live in Nigeria, you know how the country is running right now yet you think such money will be given to you just like that Bro pls say something else ok. I dont want say say its from one of your maga because I cant accuse you of such but forget you will get the cash easily. Thanks |

Was it concealed? Or was it explicit? Concealing the content of parcel may be construed as fraudulent attempt to evade the required duty. But, I wish to ask: what happened to western union money transfer and other means of sending money from abroad? |
Re: $4800 Sent To Me By My Brother Has Been Hijacked By Nigeria Customs by govomotors: 8:10am On Jan 30, 2020 |
Something is fishy here: 1. Parcel intended for Lagos will not be send to Abuja for pickup by any courier service. 2. Parcel sent by courier services are not repack at destination or locally. 3. If their are issues with your package, upon arrival you will be invited for pickup and taking for questioning. 4. No Nigerian abroad send money by post or courier service. Again, I say no Nigerian does that. 5. When last you spoke to you brother on his number known to you. Not him calling you. 6. Anyone that can save $5,000 abroad is wise enough and knows the various channels to move his money to Nigeria without anyone knowing. Since we are smelling a dead rat, this is what you do. 1. Call the so-called custom number you communicate with, tell him/her that you are at Custom Head quarters and you are being asked which office are you visiting. The scammer will tell you he/she is not in the office now but you can meet him/her at so so so place. Or 2. Just let go of what you already lost and move on. 2 Likes |

abiolap89: He should have told you to open a domicillary account. This was a blunder. A stupid mistake that could have been avoided, except your brother didn’t actually send that money and he is lying. I actually think the latter |

abiolap89: Get a lawyer and go n get your goods n money. Just that the only issue u will face will be that your money was not sent through an authorized dealer an may be faced with charges like smuggling of counterfeit currency. Just go with a lawyer n press harder. |

abiolap89: I am really sorry about your experience, it is saddening. You must be very lucky for the Staff if FedEx that brought to your attention, the cash found in your package. Experience has shown that monies found in packages during routine customs inspection for valuation, doesn't see the light of day, as customs officials steal that money. Also, they believe cash like that belongs to fraudsters, as that has been their modus operandi, since stiffer checks have been placed on Western Union and other money transfer platforms. However do you get the cash? I doubt you will be able to retrieve such monies except you go through a higher authority in customs. FedEx on the other hand will not compensate you for the cash, as it was not declared at the point of shipping, hence your brother shipped it knowing the risks involved. Come to think of it, why would your brother send that much cash in a package that can be tampered with anywhere? cos of bank's exchange rate? cash is illegit? wire fraud? it beats my imagination honestly. I hope and pray you get it resolved. Shallom. |

Brother as long as that money wasn’t included in the list of items to be sent to you, na overboard like this. And why would you be in Lagos to get a package in Abuja. FedEx is different from NPS. So I don’t know why you have to pay over here for delivery to your house. I smell scam here bloke |
