An Asian man named "John Smith" emails sign companies to place a large order of banners. He wants you to use a specific shipping company but want you to charge his card for the shipping and your company would be liable for the shipping cost. Instead of him paying for the shipping himself and having the mercandise picked up from your company.

What was strange is that he wanted 20 banners manufactured in Canada and then shipped to South Africa. Where if he ordered the banners from a company in Africa, it would only cost him pennies on the dollar.

I suspect that the order would go through on a fraudulant credit card, then charged back to your company and you would end up having to pay their shipping charges.
