Scammers Scammers Scammers

Here are the letters from one scammer in Africa whio tried to get Rebecca to ship stuff out to him.
These are up for web search reference so anyone who gets contacted by this idiot can tell him to get lost.

Hi there,
 Am interested in ordering some gift hampers and i would like you to get back to me here with the contents and pricing of those that you do carry and let me know if you do take a surcharge when accepting either master cards or visa.

Regards
Joe Curran

(Rebbeca sent back a quote)

Joe Curran

(another email back to him)
Notice that now his name changes on the ship to address and the worldwide freight company has a gmail address...how boring. Of course before long we would have the "Oh my mastercard is full, I must use Western Union" rubbish.
Like anyone in business is ever going to be stupid enough to use Western Union.+

for my orphanage homes in

Accra

Ghana

and i will like you to
contact a shipping company with the total weight of the Units

Email them and ask them for the shipping cost to  the

I found another guy he annoyed. Apparantly he started calling him.

[Liz Curtis]

Naughty.

[Rebecca]

It was weird, I smelt a rat on the first email, but decided to see what happened.

[Greg Smith]

Joe Curran also contacted us - wanted tripods this time - our user tracking system showed his IP as coming from Ghana:

Stick it on your blog too Greg, the more we get his name out in search engines the better for everyone.

[Jaime]

The same guy tried to contact me, he left his name as John Mike but the email was identical to the one you posted.
Thank you for posting this as it saved us alot of trouble!
We knew there was something sus about the inquiry as he kept asking for pricing which is clearly posted on our web site.

[Alex Pittas]

Yes, thanks for the warning, we were contacted for gift hampers.

I replied
and he asked more things evetually leading to this email asking for the sale. (BTW he asked for 400 units of our Zinc Deo wich is odd cause only our biggest accounts like distributors would ever ask for that amount)

[Ian]

YOU MUST NOT SEND HIM ANYTHING
The cards will be fake or stolen and over the course of the next few months the banks will take that money back off you.
This man is a theif and will never ever be found.
DO NOT SEND HIM ANYTHING
If you have taken money on credit cards contact your card service provider and tell them what has happened. They can then check the transactions.

Happened only just to us, the guy called himself Rick Miller. Asking us to send him 200 picture frames. We were to ship them out to cape town childrens home . I pointed out that there were framers in cape town but he insisted that our frames were the best even with the £1000 pound shipping charge plus the charges for the frames, what a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't THINK SO !!!!!!

I was suspicious when during correspondence, his name changed. As soon i got the delivery address in Africa I knew it was a scam, googled the details and found this site, thank you for confirming my suspicions. To anyone who gets an order that seems to good to be true, it probably is, so be very careful and if this guy, just walk away.
