On Tuesday I received an E-mail from Supposedly Japan inquiring what credit cards I accept as he wanted to buy some pens from me. In his e-mail he also stated that he has his own shipping agent he would like me to use (first red flag). I answered and told him the CC's I accept and with-in and hour he sent me an order for 12 pens and a e-mail link to his preferred shipping agent. I then E-mailed his agent with the weight and dimensions of the box and also with-in and hour received the cost for shipping. Now you need to be seated when I tell you the cost and terms:
3-7 day delivery---------$500.00
2-3 day delivery---------$720.00
Terms were paid by e-money transfer or western union wire transfer only.
After getting this I laughed so hard that is still hurts, but decided what the hell lets play this to the end.
I emailed to " scammer" I mean customer that I received the shippin quote and would he prefer regular shipping @$500.00 or express @$720.00.
Wouldn't you know it he wanted my pens so bad he prefered express shipping.
I then E-mailed him with my terms. Full payment up front the Credit Card CVV number from the back, the billing address on the CC had to match the shipping address and also his phone # and the phone # of the shipper.
All E-mails I've sent him have been answered with-in an hour except the last one Hmmmmmmm I wonder if it was something I said Sure hate to lose such a big order :wink:.
Guys and Gals be careful this one was pretty easy to spot from the begining but if you have a Web-site the'er looking to scam you.
