We are a small business, and have been receiving numerous calls and emails from Richard Harrison, Phone numbers from caller i.d.: 216-640-7787, 216-640-7767, and 233244049319, address 1240 East 9th Street, Cleveland, OH 44199. He wants us to ship a very large order to Mr. Steve Morgan, Tegeluddsvagen 5, Stockholm Sweden, SE-11 579.
He says we need to use his freight forwarder, Impex Shipping, Inc. (Mr. James Franco, Tel: 233546674250, Em:
[email protected]). Impex says they will only accept payment from the origin and they want over $3,300!!! And via wire transfer!!! We told him we could not do this (thanks to this website!) and now he still wants us to use a shipper that will take it door-to-door. We have found that Fed Ex leaves orders at Customs, but UPS will deliver all the way. So we don’t know if we should accept his credit card. He has a U.S. card. However, it is our understanding that, if it is a scam, the credit card will go through but then they will cancel the order and get their money back on the credit card. Meanwhile, we will have shipped the order and we are out the equipment. The country code 233 on the phone number is Ghana. What should we do?
I googled the Cleveland address and it is the USMC. I googled the Stockholm address and it may be a t.v. station.
