Received an email from a Bob Wilson to order 10 fuel storage tanks from our fuel oil company. After quoting price, was told they needed to be shipped to Switzerland. He asked me to contact [email protected] for a freight quote.
SCAM!
This is Bob and I will like to order ( HE SAID OUR ITEM IN THESE PARENTHESIS MARKS ) Do get back to me with
the types and cost for the ones you do carry and let me know if there is an
extra cost when using visa or master card. Kindly get back to me with your
name .Are you the sales manager or the owner?
Regards.....

I asked him to provide a little info on his company, what they do and how they heard about our company. Standard procedure for us before we quote a random asker. His response was:
[Email me price on (item description)]
That was all he said, didnt answer my question. I further told him that before I can quote id need more information about his company, where he was located, what he does or sells. His response to that was:
[Bob Wilson
22096 Tucker St
Beltsville, MD 20705
Tel: 206-337-3719]
I mapped out where this address was located and the numbers for that street dont even extend into the 22,000's, all start with a 1. Then I found this site and many others where his name pops up and other names that are trying to pull the same scam. I hope he sees this posting so he can see that "IM NOT DUMB AND YOURE A BIG WASTE OF MY TIME TRYING TO SCAM THE COMPANY I WORK FOR"
I got the exact same form email today:
