I told them i have no card number, they said that for generating new one shipping council want to pay 480000INR. I told am not able to pay more. please send me the product. and they said that how much amount you can pay.
After this happenings I searched about the courier site they given the address (www.horizoncoservices.com) while checking internet it seems scam.
That what i am realize that they made cheeting.

This started on the 28/10/2013. Seller known as Philip Bockler emailed me pics of Music Man guitar which i adevertised on a WTB ad on TGP website forum and I did my research and found that these photos were not taken from any website source as i googled them to make sure there were no duplications from other sources. So i assumed this was legit and proceeded cautiously. He also gave me detail specs of product and his safe packing methods on how he packed the guitar so well like double packaging with foam etc upon my request. I did my necessary checks on his profile user name phil475 on TGP forum and found that he just joined TGP last month October. I was a bit hesitant and started to ask more questions as i had good deals with people with low/zero post counts on TGP. He then replied saying he is an experience shipper and even showed me his family photo on a amatuer radio HAM website that strongly mentioned that he can't cheat my money in any way since he has a family. This "seller" knows the product very well and we followed through the phone and email correpondenses. He then negotiated and offered a few payment methods, namely moneygram, PayPal , bankwire or western union. Offer was too good to be true as I could make an offer comfortably which I did so I decided to make a transfer to him.
Initially I did a Paypal transfer but he refunded the amount a few hours later saying that he is frustrated that he can't transfer the money to his bank account and asked me to do a western union transfer instead. He then decided that i do a bank wire method instead . I agreed so after my paypal was refunded. This was the part where i gave in and sense no suspicion still. He gave the excuse saying that he lives in Canada and asked if I could send to his Swedish account which could save him huge taxes as his family resides there and have a bank account there. I agreed upon his request as the bank information looks legit.
Upon receiving the funds two days later, he followed up closely and notified me that he received it and was ready to ship the guitar in the next 2 days. At this point i thought everything was smooth as the bank would have rejected the transfer if the bank name was fake. On the 2nd day, he encountered an issue with the Canadian customs and requested that I sent $500USD via western union to person who resides in Dubai claiming to be the custom officer who will grant clearance of this shipment.
I was pissed off and argued back as we already agreed on the final amount before he agreed to ship. He scolded me by saying that the problem is with the customs and demanded that I send $300USD over via western union to a custom officer in Dubai and he would take care of the other $200. This was after much negotiation, i could have been scammed more .He also came out with the excuse that he is selling this guitar because his daughter needs to go for an operation the following week and this to get this shipment done urgently. In my gullible world I did it.
After this was done, he messaged me saying that the guitar has been shipped and the delivery agent is this "shipping agent" called "Daniel Morrison". Philip Bockler issued me a tracking number which could not be tracked at all and telling me not to worry as when my shipment has reached my destination, the agent will call me a day before delivery. I realised that i have become a victim of scam after finding out from other sources that Daniel Morrison was a fake scam but it was too late but I decided to just wait and see the outcome.
Two days later which on the 12/11/2013 i an email and a call from Philip Bockler in the middle of the night to tell me that my shipment encountered an issue and was asked to check my junk mail. The shipping agent by name "daniel morrison" was found in my junk mail and this mail mentioned that he encountered an issue with the package in London. I check my junk mail and his email read that I have to transfer another $500GBP for custom clearance by western union in order for him to release the shipment.At the same time coincidentally, Phillip Bockler emailed me saying there's an issue with the package and mentioned that he has another "buyer" for some gear who could transfer money to my Paypal so that I could pay Daniel Morrison immediately for him to ship my guitar to Singapore.
I decided to cease all conversation here as I realized I have been scammed. I have learned a hard lesson and will be more careful next time in future deals. This is my recent encounter and this lesson would stay with me for my entire life. I would like others to be careful when dealing with this guy. Here are his bank details which look legit. My suspiccion is that this bank account is being cloned and Philip Bockler might not be Philip Bockler himself.
Address of Phillip Bockler: Landsvägen 45, SE-345 29 Solna, Sweden Bank: ICA Bank, IBAN SE439270000002718482516, BIC: IBCASES1

Claims to be Canadian Citizen. Offers a Zildjian Cymbal. Accepted my offer. Received payment and promised to deliver via "Shipping Agent Daniel Morrison". Few days later email from a certain Daniel Morrison, that he stays in London and is having problems caused by Custom authorities claiming 500 Pounds for tax and security. After having read former reports I believe I have lost the Money.

Friend posted a wanted ad for me in Germany, looking for a cymbal. This person replied. I asked plenty of questions, none of which he answered. Googled his address and this website (and the person who posted here) saved me 200 Euros. I wish I could get the police involved - what a scumbag.

Thank you sincerely for your great site and the time it takes to run.
