Who is "tnt in benin"?

Who is this friend you were supposed to receive the package from?

From what you've described, yes, this is a scam. Your 'friend' is only your friend to get your money. Assuming you've never really met this friend, and have only had contact through email and/or message boards, your money is gone and never coming back.

You can contact the police, but these scammers usually lie about everything, using a false name, address, etc.

I would love to find out I'm wrong, but I doubt I am.
