I have received this exact same E-mail from Beasley Michael with the exception of the return address. Beasleymichael@diplomats.com
Please tell me what you can.
The E-mail are well written, but I believe this to be a scam after asking me to pay the airport inspection fee.
We cannot make any definitive statement as we do not know the full history of your corresponce, nor can we a forensic examination of the Emails. We can discuss the Email we received as we know it came via our honeypot system.
Note that the Email we publish above is addressed to “Receiving beneficiary”. If they have a package for me, why don’t they address the Email to me? The EMail it purports to be from is Japanese? They quote a strangely written address in London, but the telephone number is not a British format. They keep swapping the order of the name Beasley Michael or Michael Beasley. All these things should be ringing alarm bells.
What is this consignment box? Are you expecting a package from the UK, going via Texas?
Asking you to pay money in order to get your box is how they would benefit from a scam. If you are being scammed, you would pay the money but never see a box. They may even approach you again requesting more fees.
So from what you have told us, it has all the signs of a scam, but we can only advise you to seek further advice, preferably from someone in your local area who would be better informed of your personal situation.
