Type of a scam Romance
Shuldberg ([email protected]). He is an undercover agent working for a private investigative contractor. He has a commander named Andy Harris ([email protected]) of whom he works under. Mr. Shuldberg has several comrades that he is working undercover to capture cartel smugglers in Mexico through a private security firm. I met Mr. Shuldberg on the dating app Grindr on February 3, 2021. It started out innocent (a virtual relationship). He has shared photos with me on several occasions. He has my home of record along with cell phone number. Shortly after we connected over Grindr, he wanted to chat using Google Hangouts. I have all the text messages since we started. Mr. Shuldberg asked me for support payments to assist him on his mission in Mexico. I sent him two support payments each of $250 via PayPal to Mr. Ed Barribeau under the direction of his commanding officer Andy Harris because he claimed he was out of money and had no access to funds while on this top-secret mission in Mexico. He originally wanted $1000 and I said I would not do this. I investigated him by performing my own background check by inquiring through his commander who informed me he was a legitimate person. I have the supporting email to this correspondence. His mission originally started in Rapid City, South Dakota (when I initially saw him on the dating app Grindr, and he ended up in Mexico as a result of his target escaping and heading to Mexico). He also gave me a comrades phone number in Wisconsin but did not call me back to confirm if he was a legitimate undercover agent. While on patrol in Mexico he discovered an abandoned shack with jars of horseshoe crab blood that is valued at $69,000 to $75,000 each while on patrol. He confiscated the blood and decided to ship it back to the USA and convinced me to pay for the logistics/shipping of the horseshoe crab blood so that he could use the proceeds to pay for his home in Beverly Hills, CA that is under a contract for deed. I initially decided against it, but he assured me he would refund me all the money once he got stateside and would move in with me. I sent the money via Wire Transfer to Mr. Wayne Langston who is the agent for the shipping/logistics company. I contacted the Sun Trust Bank to confirm the legitimacy of the account and they verified that it belonged to Mr. Langston and that it was legitimate. Because of privacy issues, they would not confirm/deny the address of the individual that I had with my wiring instructions. Had they given this to me, I would have immediately questioned the legitimacy of this wire transfer and never did it. I proceeded to wire the funds of $5277 from my USAA Checking Account to have the horseshoe crab blood shipped on behalf of Mr. Tuffin Shuldberg. I received a tracking number from the shipping company: 161950975 of which I have been tracking for various days via the website https://instanstixlogistics.com/home/. 03-05-2021 1620027753 Juarez, Chihuahua - El Paso, Texas. Held at Customs 29-04-2021 1619713890 Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico Package Depart from Facility. 29-04-2021 1619685689 Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico Processing through Facility. 27-04-2021 1619509075 Instanstix Logitsics Distribution Center. La Trinidad. In Transit I then told Mr. Shuldberg to draft a contract with his signature and a witness confirming the refund of the logistics bill of $5,277. The logistics company is named: Instanstix Logistics and Security, Inc. I received a photo (jpg) file of the contract to repay from the scammer and I have invoice copies from the Logistics and Security Company showing funds received. On May 3, 2021, I was contacted by the Logistics and Security, Inc. company to wire transfer $18,000.00 to the shipping company agent Mr. Wayne Langston for import tax that was due on the 15 boxes of horseshoe crab blood that was inspected and held up in US Customs and Border Protection in El Paso, TX. I had a contract drafted between me and Mr. Shuldberg that I would take care of paying the import taxes only after he signed a contract to reimburse me for the expenses to date. He signed it and had a witness sign it. I have the file (JPG) of the contract. Again, I sent the funds to the Agent from my USAA Savings Account to pay the import tax on the shipped items and requested the shipping company to proceed with the delivery of the horseshoe crab blood to my home here in South Dakota. On May 10, 2021, I received an email from the shipping logistics and security company the following email message: Dear, Anthony. The parcels were carefully searched by Customs officials on May 8, 2021, at 10:30:23 am and they discovered 25.03 carat round melee diamonds valued at $1.5 million dollars were concealed in three of the jars. The sender and recipient are to be charged with SMUGGLING in court. Our legal team have intervened timely. After couple of rounds of negotiations, customs officials decided that the requisite legal documentation to cover the packages (Diamonds) should be prepared. You are to pay the sum of $87.310.00 for the preparation of the legal documents and a Fine of $28,245.00. Thank you. Sincerely, MANAGEMENT. INSTANSTIX LOGISTICS AND SECURITY INC. Cross Lane, Leeds LS25, UK. EMAIL: [email protected]. I tried to contact the company
phone number: 011 44 7537 167003 but could not get through and left a voice mail with my name and phone number to contact me ASAP. I was contacted three times by an agent of the shipping/logistics company three times (Phone # 424-333-9177). I could not understand the agent talking because he was breaking up and did not speak clear English. I told him to get me in touch with a fluent English-speaking representative. I went to the company website at: https://instanstixlogistics.com/home/contact.php and spoke with a person via chat messenger and received a transcript from our text messaging session today. The person said there was no need to contact US Customs Office and Border Patrol as I was being charged with smuggling diamonds into the USA. I am innocent of this charge as I was unaware of this information. I have a text message with admission from Mr. Shuldberg that he did this and lied to me about it unbeknownst to me. He has sent me various text messages on May 10, 2021, to assure me that everything is going to be okay and that there is nothing to worry about and that he will repay me for everything. I wanted to trust this individual, but I can no longer trust him. He has lied to me on multiple occasions. I knew there was something not right, but I fell for this scam over and over wanting to find love and now I am duped out of my money and do not know what to do. I only met the individual for five seconds via Hangout video conference when he showed himself. I have contacted US Customs and Border Protection El Paso, TX Office of Field Operations (OFO) and spoke to Officer K. Vasquez who told me the Bill of Laden (BOL) Tracking Number I provided to her is not a real package and that "no entry has been filed for this shipment." Tracking Number 161950975 from Instanstixlogistics.com She informed me that the BOL is an entry dated May 7, 2013 and that the shipment has no value. An Amazon purchase: a new book is all she could tell me regarding this tracking number and that the shipment was arriving from Toyko, Japan to Baltimore, MD, and that this was considered air freight not overland transit freight through El Paso Customs and Border Patrol. I reached out to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) after I contacted USCBP and filed a complaint with them. Case Reference #1340418201. They informed me that there was nothing they could do and that I lost all of my money and said it sounded to them like it was a scam. The FTC recommended I contact the local police department where the funds were wired. I contacted Officer Finn at Chesterfield County, Virginia and filed a police report #202105100225 regarding the above matter. She told me an investigator would be contacting me further about the matter in the next few days if they had any additional questions. She advised me to contact both Sun Trust Bank and USAA Federal Savings Bank to let them know of the fraudulent activity and to provide them with the police report number of which I did. I contacted both Sun Trust Bank shortly after informing Sun Trust Bank (804) 786-8787 and spoke with customer service representative Edward (first name) who was located in Manilla, Philippines. He told me that I needed to contact USAA Federal Savings Bank first to initiate the bank investigation. I contacted USAA shortly thereafter and spoke with CSRs Cindy and Aisha. Aisha told me to provide her with the police report number and to fax the report when it is completed to USAA FAX 800-531-2717. She said someone from the USAA Fraud Protection Department should be contacting me within 1 to 3 business days regarding the fraud investigation. Meanwhile, Mr. Shuldberg continues to contact me on Google Hangouts as of 4:42 PM, MDT on 5/10/2021, wanting me to continue to chat with him. I informed him earlier in the day that I was contacting his commander. I received an email from his commander who was unaware of this situation. I am not sure if this is the same individual that is scamming me.
