AAAHH! I almost got taken by the same ***hole!! I actually have 4 boxes of Haiku and Amari products that were going to be picked up today, but thankfully the AVON customer service dept called me this morning and told me not to process the order because nothing matched. THANK GOODNESS they called me before the items got picked up. This happened with my very first order as an AVON rep. I will be MUCH more careful in the future.
Thank you so much for posting this. I just recieved the e mail asking to place an order and have it shipped to my house. I am new to avon and I have been getting alot of these requests. Now I know that they are fake. His order was for $1500. Thanks again.
This is the second scam email, I have received lately. I was foolish enough the last time to look up prices for the scam artist but halted when they didnt want to place the order online. I am considering to stop being an ERep as I get more scam artists than I do customers.
I am SO glad I googled this phone number. I also received the same email requesting to purchase AVON. I am contacting the unit director to make sure she warns all the reps in her division.
the "person" now goes by Tony Millan. I did call the number that was listed on the 1st email but got a voicemail. Here's the 2nd email I received.....
"Hello I am Tony Millan and I work at AK Steel Holding Corporation, I will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of my marriage with my family and friends and as part of the celebrations I would like to give out some Avon products to my family and friends who would attend the party. Below are the items I would like you to order for me,
Far Away Eau de Parfum Spray {215-393}....60 bottles
Derek Jeter Driven Eau de Toilette {302-672}....60 bottles
Haiku Eau de Parfum Spray {102-972}....60 bottles
I would like you to have the items shipped to your address first and I will have them picked up from you when I am ready, since I want this whole thing to be a very big surprise to everyone. Kindly get back to me with the total including tax nd I will be sending you my CC Details for you to run all charhges to them. I hope you understand me and how I want this order to be processed and handled. Thank you very much and please let me know.
Stay blessed"
