Who called from 4043971969

FRAUD - Wanted to buy products from me to ship to Sweden, sent me info for credit cards to charge to but wanted me to wire the shipping company $2800. after I charged the cards.  He said the wire had to be from the shipping place not the purchaser. Didn't believe him as the wire would be going to the financial manager Kusi Kofi in Ghana for the Ramsco Shipping Company?  
I'm sure I'd have been out of the money for my products charged to the card as well as the shipping money wired.

404-397-1969 -

Received an email from our site with very poor English.  The person's email address was [email protected] (but is displayed as 'lucky yakubu'.  'Lucky' was interested in $2300 of our products and wanted to know what type of paymement we accepted (which is clearly stated on our website).

Decided to play along 'just in case' it could be a legit sale...

I tell 'Lucky' to send us the zip code to where the product will be shipped and that we accept credit cards, etc - and invited him to call so we could assist him with his order.

According to our call logs he called three times from this number. One right after the other.  Unfortunately (or fortunately) everyone was on the phone and he did not leave a voicemail.

So we get another email from him -

Actually i would send this units to a new Orphanage in Ghana and i would like you to have the delivery address below:

Mrs Sarah Addo
Hope Orphanage Home
57 Liberty Rd
2354 Accra-Ghana
00233

And i would like to proceed on payment by sending you all credit card details now.
And i would recommend you to this freight company that do door to door delivery and their contact is [email protected]   .
Email them for the shipping charges and get back to me so we can proceed on payment.Thank you and waiting your reply ASAP.

My response to him :)

Greetings,

Unfortunately we don't ship outside the United States.

In fact, based on the information you've provided, we will require payment in advance by cashier's check and an address in the United States.  The chairs would ship once the bank has verified and cleared funds.

Sorry, so many scams coming out of Africa.

Let us know a zip code in the United States and we'll continue this conversation.

Haven't heard back...

Beware!

FRAUD ALERT!  Had the identical thing happen to me wanting a $6,000 order to be shipped to Sweden using a credit card for payment and instructed me to contact the Ramsco Shipping Company with weight, etc.  Was suspicious up front and googled Ramsco Shipping and found this entry.  Just confirmed what I thought - this is a typical foreign scam from a rip off artist - BEWARE!!!  The guy claims to be either William Morrison or Willson Jackie (Owner) - used both names in the same email - what an idiot; can't even keep his scam consistent.  He is why they invented Smith and Wesson 357's; too bad he's out of the country - on second thought, I'm glad he's out of the country.  A real crook - BEWARE!!!

ALERT
The same thing happened to me.  William Morrison wants me to send him 40 picture frames for 5,500.  He wants me to use the ramsco shipping company and send these frames to Sweden.  thank goodness that I googled the ramsco shipping company. Thank you for the information

Thanks for posting the notes on the service.  This call was a mystery until I read your postings!
