Who called from 2092076201

I had an e-mail inquiry who suggested to use the same freight company. They wanted to pay with credit card and have it shipped to South America. I contacted the company that he claimed to be with and they told me I wasn't the first to contact them about this scam. I actually spoke with the scam artist, who sounded like he was on an international phone. He used an address in a town close to the business, but the road for the address he gave me did not even exist. I actually pretended to go through with the order and even took a credit card number, which did not belong to him although he gave me wrong information connected to the card. I contacted the card company, so the cardholder could cancel the card. After a few days, the scam artist e-mailed me with an angry response wanting the shipping information. Just be aware that the e-mails are usually in really bad broken english and the item they are looking for usually has what seems to be copy and paste specs. Also, after you respond, they increase the quantity they are looking for, likely to spike your interest in the order.

Did anyone ever send there equipment to the shipping address and if so what happen
Pls respond. I recieved an email on 06/13/2013 regarding our products to be shipped to sweden from a thomas gates

I recieved an email for "Tom Lennox" ([email protected]) on July 8, 2013 wanting a price for a piece of 8"sch40 S/S pipe 48" long. After I emailed the price to him, he decided to change the order to 10 pieces instead of just one, price did not seem to be an issue. I asked for contact information, this is what I received:

Tom Lennox
TL Industrial Co
2361 Mission St #2
San Francisco, CA 94110
415-325-2158

Our business is located in the midwest region of the US, so I inquired about shipping.

Due to the quantity changing after receiving the price, not having any business information on the email, and the price not seeming to matter we decided to investigate this... THANK YOU GOOGLE!!! We found this

Tom Lennox ([email protected]) just sent us an e-mail looking for a motor. I guarantee I could give him any price and he "will like to make order" of three since he isn't paying for them. I am sure he "wants to be an honest customer" like some of the other e-mails we've received before. These scams might work on a larger company that works internationally and might overlook the obvious to make a large sale. Maybe, they target smaller companies though, hoping that the excitement of a large order will work the same way.

This guy is in Ghana.
