Reserve Bank Of India [RBI] — Rbi letter head fraud, parcel from london

Address:560102

I received a call on 24th march 2016 by a lady named Anitha Sharma(phone:[protected], she said she is calling me from Indian customs office, New Delhi and asked me to pay Rs.28, 500 for customs as I have received parcel from London and it is in hold in customs. After paying, she said that the parcel has 40, 000 pounds, hence it has to be put in RBI and we have to pay 29, 980 as transfer to fee to RBI, later she asked me to pay 1, 75, 000 for getting account upgrading code and then again amount got hold for COT code. Now again they are asking to pay 3, 78, 000rs for income tax, only then funds will be credited to our bank account. Person called Darlene(phone : [protected]) calls from UK and says he has sent the parcel which contains, 2 Samsung mobiles, laptop, necklace set and 40, 000 pounds, he continuously calls and irritates us to pay the said amount and collect the parcel. we called Delhi customs and British embassy also to verify the details, both confirmed that these calls are fake/ fraud. I was not aware of this fraudulent calls and have transferred 1, 40, 000 to their accounts, please help me in getting this money back.

These people are using RBI letter head, which makes us to believe its true, but its not. They are also using RBI website. They have not given any parcel id, no payment proofs from their end. They always call from mobile number and get offended if we asks for proofs like their id proof or customs payment proof. This person from London says that his father is serious and he is Scotland(when we asked him to arrange the money to pay to income tax) . Please warn public as these people act as if its true.
