I was buying some 'research chemicals', the seller seemed legit. This companies address was given to me to track the shipping. This is the location of the parcel from the tracking link I was sent on google maps, Froste Ln, Winters, TX 79567, United States. As you can see it is nowhere. They requested a 500USD Customs Clearance fee for items which I paid 270EUR/312USD. I have since been blocked by the scammer but I documented it since it seemed sketchy. They requested this fee through a random email, unprofessional and a random banking address. I have removed all of my personal info from the following text, any info there is that of scammers.
