Hello, I am Hindol from Kolkata. I received an identical email from the same mailer. I persued but provided only the photos of passport and driver's license. Today one 'gentleman' rang me up and claimed himself a custom personnel from New DelhI . He told the same thing as is stated in the email and advised to deposit Rs. 18k in a bank account. I asked him some questions, answers to which were not convincing. I took some time to respond further. At this point I came across this post and felt my doubt to be substantial.
