Who called from 5307101125

We got the same thing at our company - ordering almost $50,000.00 for delivery in Ohio.  Same exact wording, poor grammar.  No edu. at end of email.  Very believable until you look into it.  SCAM.

We are a medical device manufacturer.  We received an email request for a quote on 10 units of our medical device that sells for just under $2,000 each.  It came from UC Davis (or it appeared to).  The email address they used was [email protected].  This is not unusual for us to receive these type of requests since we have been selling to the UC system for quite some time.  What we did not notice was that this was not a legitimate email address.  The address should end in .edu.  We sent the requested proforma and received what looked like a legitimate purchase order.  We then shipped the order (just under $20,000) to their "warehouse in Inglewood."  Thank God that the person working at the freight forwarder noticed that this shipment looked suspicious and called us to verify.  That is when we were able to recover our product.  If the freight fowarder would not have caught this, this shipment that was supposed to end up at UC Davis in California would have ended up in Nigeria.

We had an order for $75K worth of hyperspectral imaging equipment involved in the scam. ALl equipment returned to is and declined by recipient (who's name shows up on a sex offender list). Very odd events. I am still not certain what the scam actually was. We consider ourselves lucky that the items are all back in our hands.
