Swiftlink International, David Mark swiftlink deliveryman Required money wires for fees/taxes to deliver an international parcel addressed to me. Texas

A Facebook contact, US Army officer deployed to Syria, asked if he could send a package to me, to hold until he returned. I agreed, giving my contact information for home delivery. When the parcel arrived in Canada, I was asked to send $3600 to obtain a Non-inspection Seal, via Western Union or Money gram. Neither Western Union nor one of my banks would send the money, suspecting a scam. I should have listened ! My other bank agreed to wire the $3600. However, David Mark told me the seal was too late. A Country of Origin document was required, at a cost of $15, 000. Then, because the parcel was opened, a tax was levied for $80,000. I was promised reimbursement by the Facebook contact, who now appears to have been scammed, as well.

Upon arrival in the US, I was told there was now a US tax of $68000. I wired the first half. Two weeks later, David Mark started to pressure me for the remaining $34,000. He threatened to turn the bag over to the FBI. This time the wire went to an account at a Capital One bank. They immediately flagged it,and the scam was revealed. They retrieved the last $34,000 to return to me. I closed that bank account. I received a frantic, angry 3:00 AM call that night, demanding to know if I had a problem with my bank. He wanted the additional $34,000 I denied. He threatened that I would go to jail. I am concerned that they have my home address and worry about revenge. I am an educated, professional woman, now in semi-retirement. How could I have been so duped?
