Who called from 5742168907

Had the same thing with Mike and Von!! Serious waste of time.

Thanks for the heads up.

Got an email from Joshua Carter [email protected] wanting over 10,000 balloons sent to Zimbabwe within 2 weeks.  Raised my hackles on a number of levels, but I've had odd requests before.  When he called and said he wanted me to set up the shipping through my company, I called the State Department and the Commerce Department.  Am reporting him to the Consumer Fraud Department and have forwarded his e-mail to a company in Wales which works on shutting down "Nigerian Mail Fraud" groups and has been successful on many levels.  I looked up the above phone # and read the various reports here.  Thanks.  I won't be falling for it.

Here is the shipping information he sent me:
Thanks for the feedback,I do really appreciate it a lot,I have decided to go ahead with the order but at the moment,I will be shipping this order to a friend in Zimbabwe, The address is below and I have a shipping company in mind which I will be willing to use and their name is Global Shipping Company Ltd  .Their email address to contact them on my behalf is( [email protected] or [email protected]) I want you to send them an email with the quantity and dimensions  of the order not necessarily the weight because they can use the quantities to determine the estimated weight.Please make sure you attach the pick up and the delivery address to the email you you will be forwarding to the freight company.As soon as you get the quote kindly let me know by emailing me with the grand total which should be the price of the product and the shipping price so that I can make the full payment with my credit card.

Had the same happen here. Mike Wilson called and wanted Wine Cabinets shipped to Accra, Ghana via Meridian Freights. I realized it was a scam when I could not get a return reply from the freight company. The phone number they used was 574-216-8907. The number is out of Culver Indianna.
Thanks to everyone that has posted on these jerks!
