Desmond Lee
Pay duty to clear gift shipment
+44 7895423972
Appearance: He is an Asian-looking hunk (per his IG posts-humble and god-fearing), said to be a Korean born in the UK with Korean-accent. Marine/civil engineer by profession
Process: He befriended through Instagram DM, then proceed to ask for WhatsApp to chat. Within the 1st week, he is full of praises & seek me as his future wife. In the 2nd week he is so mad for me & insist to send me gifts coz his company just got a new million-dollar contract. When I reject he threw tantrums saying “Why are you complicating issues, Don’t be ungrateful to who care about you”! One of his ‘signatures’ i think coz he keep using these. One day after posting the gifts, he inform that he will go offshore for his new contract, & also sent 9 pictures of the gifts-iPhones, Chanel/LV bags/shoes plus a stewardess checking in parcels onto conveyor. In addition there is brown envelop with cash & I quote –
Dear i kept a brown new envelope,open it and there you will find $19,500 dollars inside the items for your upkeep and for your expenditure because i was told here that the receiver have to pay for Duty import charges tax before they will deliver to him or her,once they call you, you settle them for the Duty import charge so they can deliver to your home address immediately..
Dear as soon as you received the items you donate 10% of the dollars to the orphanage home in your country okay
Quite important coz it is most likely cut-&-paste except.
2 days later, courier agent-Swift Daily Courier contacted me via WhatsApp using a local number. When I did not reply immediately he called me. He too had a Korean accent, asking me to pay for import duty $5,000 to custom department airport. He was able to send me a receipt from the local tax authorities, a very personalized log-in to track only my cargo status via Swift Daily courier website. He also instructed me to pay the import duty into their superior manager bank account.
Going back to the beau, he is of course offshore by now & cant make any $ transfer to cover the import duty. He could be described as angry, then pleading so as not to cease the parcel/dollars inside, not to spoil the happiness we build together, later negotiate for me to pay at least half of ‘import’ duty, coercing etc. Telling him that I’ve escalated & provided his contact & the courier agent’s contact to all the authorities- tax, customs, police, UK Met police etc he gave up responding after 2 days.
Thank you for saving my money
Thank you for saving my money. Truely!!
And one more, he had a lot of women friends in Instagram, mostly asian, and he also have second account. (Those are IDs: leedesmond420 , desmondlee046). So that’s why I googled him with the word “fraud” and tada! This review poped up. Exactly same thing was happening to me. And now thanks to the review of this page, now I know why all the time I had a bad feelings
I thought it is really strange the whole process of the payment is just letting me know the account number by texting WhatsApp.
And the pictures of presents were also kind of wired cause nothing was with his face or body. And no brown envelope picture either! I mean it was pretty suspicious that those pictures are from google or Instagram.
Now this bad guy changed his phone number to the below. Please be aware my friends.

Thank you for save me , im from Asian
Appearance: He is an Asian-looking hunk (per his IG posts-humble and god-fearing), said to be a Korean born in the UK with Korean-accent. Marine/civil engineer by profession
Process: He befriended through Instagram DM, then proceed to ask for WhatsApp to chat. Within the 1st week, he is full of praises & seek me as his future wife and promise to visit me after offshore work. In the 2nd week he is lying that he went shopping with mother and they bought some gifts to me too. I wonder why? Since he felt like im no happy so his excised saying that his company just won new million-dollar contract and her family also asks him to buy something special to me. One day after posting the gifts, he inform that he will go offshore for his new contract, & also sent 9 pictures of the gifts-iPhones, Chanel/LV bags/shoes plus a stewardess checking in parcels onto conveyor. When i doubt abt pictures which come from google or somewhere , i start to ask why he wan to spend too much and y i need to pay ? He adheres to say im so precious to him with few compliments. Im calling back to him as he asks me no to worry as nothing will be happen. In addition he mentioned that he kept a brown new envelope inside baggage and ask me dun tell anyone; open it and there you will find $19,500 dollars inside the items for your upkeep and for your expenditure because i was told here that the receiver have to pay for Duty import charges tax before they will deliver to him or her,once they call you, you settle them for the Duty import charge so they can deliver to your home address immediately..im keep telling him im going flight to hometown tmrw but he insists wan me to pay before flight.

He added my IG and ask WhatsApp number to chat.

Thank you. Asian hunk but a major scum
Thank you so much for this review. I, too, met this guy online in Asia.
As he said he is from the UK and I am located in Asia, I cannot help to wonder why we would even be a match. He told me that he uses Tinder Gold, for a good-looking guy like him I do not see a need to even pay for Tinder. So i was very skeptical and had a bad feeling.
He promptly asked me for Whatsapp, so I went on and had on and off conversations with him. But still very skeptical as I do not see a reason he would be interested in even continue a conversation with me. I was having a bad feeling and in the end I went on and google search his phone number.
Voila, i found this. Blocked and reported.
I was going to screen cap this review for him, but i decided against it as i don’t want him to be that aware of the presence of this site and change the his details. I hope this review can help more potential ‘victim’ in avoiding this scum.
His contact (on my end) which could be changed anytime as:
+44 7784 315665

One of the Asian girl
Romance Scammer
Hi I am Indonesian woman. Same here I met Desmond from IG, he chatted and WA call me once. I think the number is change and also he changed his method of scam. He said that he was in trouble of his contract, he didnt get paid and called lawyer, but he couldnt access the bank account and run out of money in Paris to pay the lawyer, so he asked me to help him. He didnt mentioned the amount of money yet. But the intention is already there.
Here is his number: +44 7743 134466. IG account: @desmondlee01
So true ! All this information.
this person is definitely on the road again in scamming. The story of him from Instagram to WhatsApp and these specific instructions. What alerted me was he said he bought all these gifts and that I was to pay for the parcel before they deliver to me prior accepting. Which is weird because you would never have to pay to receive a package in my country.
His number now on WhatsApp is
+44 7544 130916
