Who called from 2166407787

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 numbers is Ghana. What should we do?
I googled the Cleveland address and it is the USMC.  I googled the Stockholm address and I think it is a t.v. station.

this is a fraud

We also have been harassed by the same person "Richard Harrison" with the same scam to wire them money for shipping by wire transfer.  This is absolutely a scam.  We told him to pay cash when they pick up the delivery and he hangs up or says we will get back to us. We need to all tell him he is going to be reported to the police and we have his phone number.  Do not do any business with him!

This is a scam and the merchandise order is just a distraction. The true target of the con is the wire transfer of cash to pay for "shipping".
