This particular scam is under investigation by the National Criminal Intelligence Service (UK). Vlajko Stojiljkovic is a real person, but as always the Lads are happy to use other peoples' names. This is somewhat edited - any errors in the sequence are ScamORama's. Thanks to a Kindly Contributor in the UK.

Hello,
I need your help.
I am the wife of VLAJKO STOJILJKOVIC, one of the
people indicted at the Hague War Crimes
Tribunal in Hague. The indictment is politically
motivated. It was for the package the
western worlkd has provided Yogoslavia.
Slobodan and my husband had kept some funds ,
european
currencies, in cash to enable them take care
of rebel problems. However, now the country they
protected has turned against them. We need
to transfer the money out to safety.
The funds are in excess of 200 million (in Euros ,
Swiss Francs and US dollars). They can be shipped
under diplomatic immunity. They will then have to
be paid into off
shore accounts. They are not in
Yugoslav.
Can you help? Are you capable of handling funds? Are
you trustworthy? I have been asked to
offer you 30%. Will that be ok?
Please reply to me. I am grateful.
Glorja.

I assume this to be the Freight Company.
I looked up the website, Not much info on who or where they are, very odd.
Tried to contact them, message back that they only recognised "Secure
Addresses"
Then said my address was 62 255 32 5 - it's not??
I have learnt a bit about html lately and checked the coding of the site.
As far as my very amature eye can see there is no coding in there to
retrieve my address.
The 62 255 32 5 gets sent to anyone (I Think) Perhaps our "experts" could
check it out?
I have just sent a message asking how much I have to pay, who to and how.
Wait and see.

From "glorja":
First thing l need your address to give company so
they deliver to you company take 2 days to deliver .l
pay company for storage and diplomatic fees $30000
transport to you cost $19000 to $20000 once this done
all ok l show you picture of box before l give company
boxes company not know what inside boxes total box is
4 no problem with customs so company say since company
have diplomatic cover so no fear .Only fear is that
you keep money safe.
***
From Kindly Contributor:
You still have not made it clear.
Do you pay the 30000 and the 20000 transport cost or do you want me to pay.
If you want me to pay I need to know the details of how and who to pay.
Don't worry about the safety of your money. I can pay it into a UK bank and
then transfer it to a Swiss bank or anywhere else you want it. Its your
money. I will be happy with 30%

From Kindly Contributor (who is Kindly but not Stupid):
I tell you before. I will not pay money first.
Either you pay Company first or I pay AFTER boxes are delivered and
checked.
Otherwise NO DEAL

Friend of Kindly Contributor writes
There's two possibilities: either this site [the supposed packet delivery service] is part of the scam, or it's an innocent 3rd party site that's being used to give the impression of legitimacy.
There's nothing obviously non-kosher about the web site itself, unlike
the fake AOL details update page that was mentioned on this list a long
while ago. But the idea of a commercial diplomatic parcel service does
give rise to some skepticism; how does John Random 3rd World Kleptocrat
know it's not a CIA front?
However
1) AFAICT, the log-in uses HTTP, rather than HTTPS. This is not what one
expects from a secure site.
2) The mail host corresponding to the web site is in a spam black list,
as probable relay hijacking. Not what one expects of a secure site.
3) The web site traces to a $15 per month web hosting service.
4) The mail host corresponding to the web site is identical to that used
by that web hosting service.
5) The domain name registration and admin details are in the US, but the
admin email address is at a French site, which looks as if it's a French
equivalent of HotMail.
6) Google doesn't know about it. (Which means it's either new, is not
linked to from anywhere, or has disabled search engine scanning.)

All in all the details look suspicious, but then one would expect this
of material offered in support of what looks like a variation of the
Nigerian scam. If you let me see the headers of the original email I may
be able to provide further details.
Of course, regardless whether it's genuine or fraudulent, it ought to be
reported to the relevant law enforcement agency.
