I have received another comment from another online netizen known as Mimi Akmat. This is what she posted on complains board in response to my post.

I have received a similar scam.

Was told by a Mr. Catim William that he had sent me a laptop under:Order Number: APX:576543Ref No: APX:11052006/21On 29 Apr, I received an email and a call from Mr. David Smith - Head, Customer Proposition, Air Parcel Express Couriers, United Kingdom & Asia mentioning that I have to pay RM3, 120.00 being customs duty as the shipment is being held at Malaysian customs.

Mr. David Smith then SMS me and said that I have to make a transfer money via Western Union to an account officer, Ms. Sabariah Bte Ahmad, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia before they can express release the shipment to me in Singapore.

I've even checked through it's website but there is no such reference number..!I was fortunate that I saw this complaint board and never made the payment otherwise it would have cost me SGD1344.72 which is a lot of money to me.

Just want to remind everyone to be careful of such scams...
