If you do make the mistake of calling, you’ll find out that your money is ready to be delivered, except … you need to pay a “release fee” or a “customs tax” or a “service charge” before it can be sent to you. And if you make the bigger mistake of paying, then the scammers will disappear and you’ll never hear from them again.
