This nitwit called twice between 2-3 AM EST and reached our automated service. Both recorded messages were the sound of a toilet flushing. I guess his or her life is in the s^^ter, huh?
This is a complete scam....been getting calls the last 2 weeks from the same number.
Name:Robert James
Wants to purchase our products to ship to Ghana. And wants us to pay for shipping by wire transfer and that he will pay us with a credit card.
We've been scammed too - now they are getting braver and asking for items to be shipped in the US - small qty, sending locally - who would think to check - until we got ANOTHER cusotmer with the same shipping address......so now we know and are thinking of having the IT guy block this number from our phone system.
I've been getting called and emailed. He initially contacted me by email asking for a specific item. His email said he was in Texas and that he would be paying by credit card.
I sent a quote. He replied stating he needed 5 of the items and they were to be shipped to Germany using his preferred shipper, FAST shipping. He gave me a suspicious email address for the company to get a shipping quotation. I took the libery of getting a shipping quote from FedEx.
Mack then called very anxious for his quote for 5 items with shipping. Right at that moment I got the FAST shipping quote. I told him that the shipping quote was $3,800 from FAST and FedEx would do it for $1,100. He said he had been using the other company for years and didn't care about FedEx. He just wanted his new quote.
That is when I did a search online for this phone number and found all of the other stories. I have told him I would not quote.
Received an email inquiring about ordering our products, Jeff Bouns wanted product shipped via UDS Logistics when I asked for there company info was told there website was under contruction ??????? Red Flag went up so asked many more questions he then wanted to call me with Credit Card info and when he did we called the Credit Card Company first for Authorization (as I thought it all sounded very sketchy) and sure enough the Credit Card was not valid.
We did not send any funds to the Shipping company so just wanted to let everyone else know of this scam.
