Initial means of contact Email
I agreed to receive a package for a friend who supposedly shipped it from Canada. Once it allegedly arrived Zillion contacted me and said I needed to pay a 1200.00 fee in bitcoin to receive the package. I couldn’t understand why but I did pay it so that when the friend came to the states the package would be here. Then I get an email from Zillion saying that they scanned or screened the package and there was money in it. I had no idea about this because I was shown pictures of an ipad, iphone, jewelry. So I contacted the sender and he claimed there was five hundred thousand in the package that he got from selling his house in Chicago area. I was shocked. So I sent Zillion an email telling them this and then they insisted I pay 7500.00 or be charged with money laundering. I had no idea about the money. So I paid the 7500.00 and then they came back and said they wanted fifteen thousand dollars as a demurrage fee for holding the package for over six weeks. That was the last straw. They threatened me again with money laundering and opening an investigation. I decided to open my own investigation with the FBI. I filed the claim with all the wire transfers to the people who bought the bitcoin or supposedly did and gave the names, bank account numbers, and dates. This “friend” has turned out to be no friend and he keeps insisting I call Zillion or email them. The real Zillion is Zillion Logistics and their email is [email protected] I hope these people get caught because I am out a lot of money that I borrowed from friends to pay the fees and the threats were severe. So severe that I have anxiety and PTSD from it.
I was asked by a friend if I would receive a parcel that he allegedly shipped from Canada. I was contacted by Zillion Logistics or Logistic and told that I had to pay a 1200.00 shipping fee and then it would be delivered to my office. Once that was paid I then received another email saying there was money in the package and wanted to know how much. I had no idea how much was there so I asked the friend and he told me an amount. Then all of a sudden Zillion asked for 7500.00 or they would open an investigation for money laundering against me as I was the receiver listed on the package. I paid this fee because I didn’t want to lose my job but I had no idea there was any money in the package. I was sent picture of an ipad, iphone, earrings, necklaces and a jacket but no picture of money in the package. I was frightened and felt I was being blackmailed. Everything had to be paid in bitcoin. Now they have asked for 15,000.00 for a demurrage fee because it took so long to pay the 7500.00. This is such a racket. They put fear of investigation into the email and so I made my own report to the FBI and gave them all the bank wire transfer information and names and addresses of the parties who received the money. Now this same “friend” has sent me a message and given me a phone number that I am to call to pay this fee. I will not pay it and if an investigation is started I have at least started my own investigation.

My fiance is in the Army and deployed. He has purchased items and shipped them (along with some of his pay) to me in North Carolina using a courier called Zillion Logistics. They have contacted me and requested a shipping fee (on my end) of $3,550. They asked me to send them cash in a brown envelope to an address in California. The package didn’t arrive, even though I sent the payment in overnight FedEx. They contacted me yesterday advising they couldn’t ship the package until I paid a clearing fee and additional insurance fee that totaled $19,100, to be paid in cash and mailed in a brown envelope. I don’t feel comfortable doing this. My fiancé was unaware of these fees when he shipped these items to me in the States. Please see if anyone else has further information about Zillion Logistics. I feel like this is a scam.
