Who called from 7182348097

This person contacted my business trying to be 5k$ worth of Diamond blades with a NY billing address sent to an Ohio Address.. When i tried to call and verify the order no one answered, then i found this post..

Same phone number. Wants to buy advertising space in our magazine for a book keeping position. No company name. Goes by the name of Angel Walker in Brookly, NY. 718 234-8097. The area code is Brooklyn. I am suspicious because she (?) provided all cc info including CVV code in an email.

Everyone's blog is most helpful.

CALLED WANTING QUANTITIES OF 20 BLADES - SENT EMAIL - NO COST REQUESTED - JUST SHIP!

I received a call today from a relay phone service. The operator relayed a call to me from Ralph Johnson wanting to buy 2 Automated External Defribulators (AED). Was very pushy for a quote to be emailed to him while still on the phone. Here is the email I received. It confirmed my suspition about fraud when I found the 1st posting on this site. Thanks to this site my company will not lose a few thousand dollars on fraud.

I was not approached by a company.  I was approached on an online dating site.  I'm a widow and this scam artist really had me going for a while.  I won't go into any details but something didn't seem right to me.  Right after we started communicating on the website I was stupid enough to give him my email and my phone number.  After a week of communication, he told me that he owned his own construction company and he had to go to Malaysia to do a job and would be away for two weeks. He professed his undying love for me and sent me pictures of himself and his family.  He called me from Malaysia and I verified the international area code with the phone company. I must admit there was something that still didn't feel right.  However, I still believed he loved me and wanted to see me when he got back.  Then a red flag went up when after two weeks he told me that he could not return to the states because he ran out of money and wanted me to wire him $5000.00  so that he could finish his construction job and come home to me.  ( We had never met......only communicated by email and telephone)  I told him that I was a little suspicious and wanted to know the name and phone number of his construction company here in the states. When I checked it out,  the name and number didn't match.  When I googled the 718-234-8097 I realized it was a scam.  Then I started reading all the letters people had received and noticed that the grammar and punctuation was terrible and a phrase was used    " I await your read "...........this was all too familiar.  Also, this guy who called himself James Jackson always used the lower case letter  " i "................he also had a thick accent. As I read some of these stories, the grammer and punctuation are identical.
Fortunately, I never sent him the money, however, It did cost me over 400 dollars in phone calls.  I hope this information is helpful to others who go on dating sites.
