Scam Email: Deg Store

This scam email doesn't have a fake person's name but a fake store name. All the rest of it is the typical stuff we see in these scam emails.

Hello,

This mail is to make inquiry on the below question.

1- Do you carry oversea? (though i already know of a freight forwarder that will pick my packages from you,since they ship lesser than any other courier and they are so effective in shipping my goods to me here in Victoria , Australia is estimated to be 3-4days) I have used there service in the past and it was splendid.

2- Do you accept credit card for payment (my U.S.A Master and Visa card to be precise)?

Kindly let me know your comments on these, before i send the items i am interested in purchasing from you.

Best Regards.

  1. Boy am I glad for this website. I responded to this email, then thought to search the store name.

    We received this email at an all natural pet food company! I told them we didn't have export permits to ship meats to Australia and almost immediately received this response:

    "Our shipper have the export permit to ship the order. Kindly advise back with your stock inventory"

    Yeah. Thanks! :)

  3. We also received this scam e-mail. We got scammed. We went to Google to find out who this person is and we found out this was a scam skunk artist. We just want you to know to go to Google and find out who this scammer is. Here is a correspondence of this guy and see how he approaches ordinary people. He is looking for some opportunity to rip people off.


    Good Day,

    Please note that we have problems accessing your inventory, please provide us with the 5 top sales items that you have and prices so we can place our order.

  6. Add the name Lawrence Hartley, President Lawrence and Group Supplies. Identical email received from both Lawrence and Terry to buy fashion jewelry on a wholesale basis for their stores. Never responded to Terry as found this website, but did respond to Lawrence and never heard back from him again likely because I told him that we require 100% of money upfront.

  22. Keep in mind, folks, that all these e-mails are written by somebody without good English. Sometimes it's subtle, like using a comma instead of a period. Whoever wrote this line: "Kindly let me know your comments on these" is not an English speaker. Or "I have used their services in
    the past and it was splendid." That's just not a common English phrase, nor is it in correct English. It is a common Nigerian phrase, though. If the sender's name was Nigerian, it would actually be less suspicious.

    Another good clue is the name of the company. "Lawrence and Group Supplies" sounds a bit odd, don't you think? Or John Dan - who is named John Dan around here? I used to get spams from somebody named Kimberly Tuton.

    So don't pay attention to the company name, or the name of the sender. What these guys do is compose an e-mail in English, then share it on their spam forums. Then they just change out the name of the company and the sender.

    Watch out for these guys. It looks like their English is getting better, but always check into it. I noticed that scammers never ask directly about your product. They never call your product by name, and rarely specify your business name. Make sure they're specific!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thanks for sharing your experiences, but you'll notice from the comments shared above that in some versions of this particular "template" of a scam, they do mention product by name and are specific. In other versions, the scammers are general at first and then get specific with those people who reply.

    But it's also helpful to everyone that we all share our experiences - it serves as an alert to others. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Here is another one! This was received earlier this week, and they do respond and engage in the "roleplay"!! They even checked our website and identified specific products. A lot of effort for the scammers, without any return!

    This is good sharing amongst the business community to keep these guys from making money.

  26. Ok - it gets better (from my previous post earlier today)!! I managed to take it to the next stage to see how it works. They are obviously hoping that the supplier (us) will make a payment in advance, for the shipping to the (phantom) customer. Apologies if this note is obvious to most, but there will still be some who might get pulled into this one, so best to state the obvious.

    Here is the note I received from the "shipper" which had been recommended to me from the original enquiry, again poor English is the key as previously stated in earlier blog postings. Also interesting to note, no account details for the shipper! (they need to iron out some creases in this scam!):

    Dear David,
    Thanks for choosing Oceanic World Freights. Our head office is based in United Kingdom and we have local teams that comes for the pick up once consideration has been furnished. The total cost for the shipping will be $1,060.00 while insurance and taxes will be $330.00 making a total of $1,390.00. 3 to 5 days delivery the shipment will be door to door and payment can be made wire transfer via Western Union. Once the payment has been transferred to the suggested agent we inform our local team to come for the pick up. We need to know when exactly the packages will be ready for pick up and payment will be received earlier before the pick up date. This is to ensure shipping arrangement well scheduled. Pick up address has been acknowledge.

    Below is the information you will need to make the transfer to our representative via western union or money gram:

    Name of Receiver: Frances Anderson
    Address: 117 Dogpool Lane
    City: Stirchley
    State: Birmingham
    Zipcode: B30 2XH
    Country: United Kingdom


    As soon as you are done with the transfer get back to us with the details below:
    1. Sender's name and Address as used to fill the money gram or western union form................
    2. Total Amount sent after the transfer charges was deducted................
    3. Money transfer reference number/MTCN.................


    Kindest Regard,

    Oddly enough we received the exact same correspondence in November but it was from FRANK TOM.

    Has anyone noticed that the website for the freight company S&M World Carrier LTD is frank-company.com

    Just a little too coincidental for me.

  61. So glad I stumbled across this site!

    I had an order placed by the Awad Miller fellow, and actually ran a card of over $5k for an order I was about to start production on.

    I felt a little wary the whole time, but the card went through so I was about to start production.

    I felt strange that the name on the card was different than the person e-mailing me, but I have had issuer cards in the past that have been different than the person I am dealing with so it was not just that, but just everything together...the strange english, the weird shipper, the urgency in tone for getting the goods.

    I just refunded the purchase to whoevers card was actually charged and hope it does not come back to bite me.

    Please watch out for AWAD MILLER

    ReplyDelete
  62. Yes, scammers frequently use credit cards numbers that are stolen but not yet reported so they often clear. We've seen when they do not, the scammer will offer another number until it does clear. But all these stolen cards not yet reported always end up in a chargeback once the theft is realized.

    Report any of these cards to the credit card institution and take them out of circulation because the scammer will continue to use it until they can't.

    Glad to hear you figure things out in time.

  66. Here's another one regarding FRANK ENSTA trying to place an order with my company.

    Everything matched right down to the name and address. However, the credit card company denied the charge. Thank goodness, saving me a chargeback of $6092.70.

    I originally directed him to my website to place the order, but he didn't feel comfortable using his card online.

    Then I suggested he fax over a copy of the card front, and back, as well as his ID, and a bill. He said he didn't have the software for that.

    Then I ran the card, and it was denied.

    Last, I told him to wire the funds ...still waiting on a response back.

    **This is so ridiculous, as if busy hard-working people have time for such foolishness!

  71. Yes, this is pretty much how this scam operates. Pretend to buy a large order, pretend to have a store in some weird foreign locale, pretend to have a shipping company that for whatever pretend reason, needs YOU to *wire* the shipping fees to them, thus securing the scam because the scammer's money will be counterfeit or if a credit card, the card number will be stolen and result in a chargeback.

  74. We are interested in reporting James Strong as we have been hit with 900.00 in "freight charges that we wired". He did give us another (3) credit card that we processed but feel that it is stolen, and he now wants to increase his order with much more freight costs. We are not going to complete the order but want to report it to someone. Any ideas?

  75. Yes! Go to ic3.gov and report the case. I doubt your money is recoverable, but that division there tracks trends and looks for gangs to shut down. So it is good to report it. Also, report to your local police and get a police report filed, just for the paperwork.

    I'm sorry you lost money to this scammer. It stinks! They stink!

    "Nick" just tried to purchase 12 Scent Vent's from my company. He set up shipping through a fictitious company SeaLink Express Cargo. When I told him we did not ship our product until we received payment in full he produced a MasterCard number and all the necessary info. The only thing is it had a North Carolina address on it, seemed more than a little strange for a company located in Australia so I called MasterCard direct. Gave them the information he provided and while the card didn't belong to a Nick Anderson the address and all other information he had was correct. The bank put a block on the card but it appears these individuals now have working credit cards they are attempting to use.

  100. I've also received a number of emails from this Grey Woods account. We communicated for several weeks before we realized that something was fishy with the names, addresses and businesses used.

    We even went so far as to email the delivery service, which is also not a real company.

    I received this email after we wrote saying we thought it was strange that the delivery company itself does not accept credit.

    Earlier i mentioned your cooperation with them, as I will be handling all payment starting from my order, their shipping fee,and any incured wire fee. I could pay them directly , but they do not have the facility/material to debit a credit card. Lead way have delivered to us over the years without delay and damages, so their services is what we recognize. As soon as the products leave your store , they are in full responsibility.

    Get back to me with an update quote/cost of whole payment so i can proceed to making arrangements for payment. Also what kind of credit card do you work with ?

    Regards
