I recently bought several items from the States, all separate purchases days apart, and all less than $1,000.
I received this email from amservices regarding tax duty, and super confused with this. They seem legit but this email is off cause they don't seem to state any reference to the purchase, the amount etc. Is this a scam?
=====================================
Due to the value of your goods being more than $1000 AUD, Australian Customs requires a formal entry to be completed.
Can you please confirm in writing that you would like AMS to complete on your behalf and that you accept $155 processing fee and any duty/GST associated to the entry to be billed to you at cost.
If you would like the declaration lodged under a business name, please confirm full business name and ABN you would like used
To avoid any further delays can you also please send through a copy of your proof of payment receipt and commercial invoice / purchase order at the same time.
not a scam as such. they are just asking you to allow them to do the most basic of tasks for a massive amount of $$$.
their phone number is disconnected.
