Scam Email: Jasmine Anthony

The thing I found odd about this scam email is how the scammer seems to have used a "reply" to paste in to their main email (notice all the carets at the beginning of the lines). They also put their intended victim's email in the BCC field (I saw this when I looked at the full headers). I guess they were trying to cut some corners but it seems odd. The content is all the usual stuff we see over and over again.

    2. To the above commenter: Can you post the contents of the email you received here so we can see if the wording and format matches typical scams? Be sure and remove any private information about you, like your email address.

  2. Basically, these scams work like this: the scammer pretends they are buying something or several things from you. They may spread out the details of what they are doing across several emails or do it all at once. They like when potential victims reply to their email so sometimes they can be pretty cryptic upfront.

    But eventually the core parts of the scam will be revealed. They will offer to pay with a check, certfied money order, or lately credit card numbers. The checks are fraudulent, the money orders faked, and the credit cards are typically stolen numbers that have not yet been reported as such (we often seen when one comes back as bad, the scammer will just provide another one). The second part of the scam is they will ALWAYS eventually say they will use their own shipping company. Sometimes they have elaborate (fake) information about this supposed shipper and sometimes they don't bother to say anything about them.

    They will tell you they are paying for the items plus the shipping fee their shipping company will charge them and they has you to take your amount and forward the rest to the shipper. They sometimes have an elaborate story as to why it's set up this way and sometimes they just skip the story.

    They will ALWAYS ask this difference be sent to the shipper via Western Union. Again, sometimes they have a story as to why and sometimes they don't bother explaining.

    So. They check or credit card numbers are fake or stolen but you deposit the money (or process the credit card), forward the difference to the shipper via Western Union and because there is no shipper, it is just the scammers at the other end and their goal is to pick up that money before you or the bank or the credit card company figures out their money is fraudulent. Once the money is picked up from Western Union, it is completely untraceable.

    Now you see why we get so many of these emails? It's just a numbers game and the average take per victim ranges from $1500 to over $4000 sometimes.

    Now that you know, you don't need to communicate with them any further, not even to tell them you know they are a scammer. Report the credit card number to the credit card company so the owner can know their number has been stolen. And that's about all we can do.

    I'm glad to hear you didn't fall for this!

  3. We received the same email (pretty much) yesterday! You can usually tell they're a scam with the wording and the fact that they haven't mentioned our company name or the type of products that we sell!

    Dear Sales,

    I got your contact through an international fashion network.
    My name is Mrs Regina Anderson, a store owner in Ivory Coast, Africa.
    I'm really interested in your product and would like to be one of your
    international customers.

    My business is five years old and steadily growing. We purchase all
    kind of women clothing,jeans, t-shirts , jewelries & accessories etc
    and resell them to our local customers and it has been very profitable
    for me.

    If you are considering selling to me, then send me some of your scan
    collections with the wholesale prices.
    Ordering should be easy as I could just note down the style
    numbers and e-mail you my order list. I do hope you'll accept my Visa
    or Master credit cards as my only payment option and also hope you can ship
    Internationally to Ivory Coast.

    I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Thank you,

    My boss was insistent, call her she wants to ship ups, call her now. I was weary something wasn't right specialty since ups ship was almost 500 usd. He actually emailed back and forth and got an order. At first glance, It reminded me of the Australia scam emails, so I goggled and found you guys. My boss at first didn't believe me since we do legitimate work with Lagos...after several Google searches he is convinced!

    Thanks again guys!

    1. They tried to get us also. They tried to order like 30 bundles of hair from us so i googled them and found this post. Thanks for keeping us updated to the current scams. You saved us alot of headache, money, and product. And its really sad because if the credit card is stolen and not reported the charge would go thru and of course you would send the products. Then once the card is reported, the credit card company will reverse the charges or charge back your account. Either way you are out of the money and the products you already shipped out... Ouch!!!

  21. Updated!!! I did the research and led me to this site... I wrote back saying that they needed to provide my company with significant information on what kind of store they own, who their customer is, credit references, and the creme de la creme... a wire transfer in the full amount before we are able to ship them. I like busting chops of scammers, what's worse is when they have terrible spelling!!!!

  23. Yeah, it's a scam email. Fashion Boutique and Ivory Coast seems to be a theme with the story scammers put out there. You can see all the similar variations from the other comments added to this post.

    Delete and feel NO obligation to communicate with them any further, even to tell them you are not interested. Just ignore them and delete their emails and let them waste time trying to figure out if you are going to become their next victim.

    Glad to hear you are not.

    1. Hello

      I have very small business in Finland (I wonder how they got my information!) and I got this same e-mail today (august 14 th 2013). So they are still trying. It tells me that they manage to get money...

  42. Anytime anyone emails you and point blank asks " do you take a credit card" - its going to be a scam! They send bcc:s to thousands of people, hoping a few idiots reply. If they were really looking at YOUR shop specifically, they would know if you take credit cards.

    Honestly, anyone who reads these emails and thinks that they are legitimate.. Well, they deserved to be scammed!

  56. I own a high end boutique in California and received this email yesterday. Luckily I am up to date on scams and actually have a sister that works for a bank and loads of family members who are in Law Enforcement.

    > Dear Sales
    > I am Sophian Jones the owner of J Fashion Shop.I see your products and it interested me.I want to know if you can sell to me so that I can buy.

    > Best Regards
    >
    > My shipping address :
    > Mrs Sophian Jones
    > 7051 Blvd Giscard
    > Abidjan- Cote d'Ivoire [ Ivory Coast ]


    To my surprise she then sent this email after I gave her a total amount and requested moneygram or western union as a primary source of payment since she was in another country and this order was fairly large.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your message and see below the items i am interested to buy from you.

    My shipping address :
    Mrs Sophian Jones

    Abidjan - Cote d'Ivoire ( Ivory Coast )
    Tele: 22556356959

    Then she sends this email exposing all of her information. This is not how someone typically does business.

    Hi,
    I thank you for your message. See below for my credit card details for you to charge for your money. Chrage $2,000.00 dollar in multiple times at once for your money.
    NOTE : Make sure you charge my card through your MANUAL TERMINAL and not ONLINE ok.

    Phone : 22556356959
    NOTE : Kindly help me to reduce the invoice to $300 dollar to help here during custom clearance

    I then called this number and spoke with a creepy sounding old lady. (Tales from the crypt's voice) and I knew something seemed fishy. I am now on the phone with the REAL cardholders bank and I reported the credit card # to the fraud department.

    My response:

    Hi Mr.Harris,
    How are you? We do supply products to the Ivory Coast. We do accept payment Via credit cards through Paypal. To protect our selves, as well as our customers, we ship Only to confirmed addresses and a signature is required upon delivery.

    We do not do next-day delivery orders because each payment has to be validated before the order is shipped.We ship via UPS, FEDEX and USPS.
    The store's website is currently down for maintenance and should be back up on April 26,2014,but we have a large selection of products and can supply any product that are interested in.

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

  96. Received this one TODAY in French!!!

    Initially, I was very curious about it coz I lived in France for more than a year. This one is more about religion,10M USD in a box in Ivory Coast and a sad story about her husband's death and being childless. Am sharing the Google translation below:

    Suzanne Bright

    Hello there
    I would like to introduce myself to you so that we can continue our correspondence.

    I'm Suzanne BRIGHT.
    I was married to Mr. David BRIGHT, who was a great grower of coffee and cocoa and worked for Angola navies for nine years before he died in 2008.

    We were married for eleven years and unfortunately we did not have a child because of my infertility. He died as a result of political events as experienced by my country murder.

    Before his death we were both devout Christians and even preach the word of God in our religious community.
    At his death, I decided not to marry again.
    Let me point out that the lifetime of my late husband, he had to deposit the sum of $ 10 Million American (TEN million USD) which is in a metal box in a security company here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. Currently, this money is still in the security company.
    Unfortunately, recently, my doctor informed me that I was suffering from a serious illness: cancer condemning me to death from one moment to the next. But also hypertension.

    Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a religious institution or person having the fear of God that will use the funds as I would instruct. I search for what is a religious institution or a trusted person with the fear of God that will put these funds to services for orphanages, widows, religious buildings, spreading the word of God and to ensure that the work of God is maintained. The Bible says what blessed the hand that gives.

    I took this decision because I have no children who could inherit this money and my husband relatives are not religious. I do not want my husband's efforts to be squandered by non-believers.
    I would also not want a situation where this money will be used in the bad things of the world; why I am taking this decision. I do not fear death the moment I know where I'm going. I know I'll be in the kingdom of the Lord.
    Exodus 14 verse 14 says "the lord will fight my case and I will remain in his peace."
    As soon as I receive your reply I will send you the contact of the security company here in Abidjan.
    I'll also send you the documents concerning the deposit in this security company.
    I wish you and your religious community to always pray for me so that the Lord is still my shepherd.
    My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of religious. Whoever wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and in truth. Please always remain in prayer all your life.

    Contact me at the email address above for more information, please reassure me that you will act accordingly as I mentioned above.
    While espérerant receive your reply may God bless you.
    Your sister in Christ,
    Suzanne BRIGHT.

    We will be glad to sell your product in our stores. We will appreciate it if we can buy and ship some items to us in our locations for our existing customer but payment through our company credit card Please send us your line sheet catalogue in your next reply.

    FAX: (+33) 503 942 614
    COUNTRY: FRANCE

    I suspected this as a scam, but I wasn't completely sure and thought I'd play along. I responded that I sell electric lamps and that my products would not work with French outlets. They immediately replied:

    Hello my Friend,
    Yes i have my store in France and my second shop is in Ivory Coast.
    I want this product in my second shop in Ivory Coast not in France.
    I will be happy if you can ship directly to my shop location in Ivory Coast.

    Please let me know, if this will be possible.
    Thanks

    Regards,
    Madam Diah Suzanne

    I then asked them for the name of their store and for a list of products they wanted to order, and I haven't heard back yet. What I wonder is, if people are getting wise to the fact that a lot of scamming is coming from the Ivory Coast, and given that the goods are never actually shipped, why do they keep saying they're from Ivory Coast?

  121. Beware! The scam is still on with different approach.

    Received this email on Dec 16, 2014 and immediately suspected t as scam because I never have anything to do with Canadian chamber. The email also mentioned 'language barrier' which is ridiculous. Hellooo this is 2014, English has become universal language, It's not hard to get translation service.

    I googled the sender's email address
    nadecoul@gmail.com, and found several link about that address including this site.

    Below is the email content:

    Hello

    Compliment, My Name is Mr George Dorman, I work with a pharmaceutical company here in Canada and I got your contact from Indo Canada Chamber of Commerce in Canada and I decided to contact you directly for an investment with my company if you can understand English, Bahasa.

    Our company is into production of Pharmaceutical products and Animal Vaccines. There are some agricultural seeds that my company needs from Indonesia for the production of our Animal Vaccines and Anti-viral drugs.

    We have been purchasing the materials from Pakistan and Sri Lanka but it is very scarce now and we got information that it also exist in Indonesia but we are having problem with the owner of the products due to language barrier.

    Please take a moment out of your very busy schedule to respond back to me at my private e mail address for more detail.

  152. I got 2 of these! One claiming she was Carolina Herrera and wanted my products for her store based on the Ivory Coast and I replied and she gave me an order but wanted to wire the money to me and wanted my details. My company is only new and I didn't want to give out my bank details when they refused to place the order on my website?! So I ignored it and she got angry. Then I got this email from Elizabeth Anderson from New Era Store wanting the exact same thing! I just ignored it. HATE SCAMMERS!

  162. We received the email below back in March, took a card payment for an order that we despatched then sent a second order on proof of bank payment. Once both orders had been delivered and signed for the card payment was charged back and the bank transfer cancelled, they have had over £10K worth of goods from us and not paid a penny!! Cant believe we were so naive, really hope this does not happen to anyone else.

    Hello,

    Thanks you so much for mail. i want you to be cleared about payment before anything, due to situation of our country, Yes we can do wire transfer, but at the moment the transfer will be delay up to 3 to 4 weeks before money cleared into your account, which is not favor to us and our customers, due to the Terrorism act that as happen here about some months ago at our big Beach at Bassam they kill 17 people and injured 21 people so that is why our banking system as been change to transfer money to overseas or international business it will delay that was why our bank advice to us to been using our Credit card for any overseas/international business abroad to avoid delay, so if you accept cc okay? Because we can not wait for 5 to 6 weeks before money clear and send our goods, due to our customers. that is not suitable to us. cc is safe & faster for us.

    Thanks you

    I checked he VAT numbers above and they are not the same company...which alarmed me.

    But then they mention they want it to be shipped to Cote D'Ivore nd give us these details:

    I contacted the Reciproque boutique via FB and they said it was not them. and called the phone numbers, but the phone was picked up by a 12 year old girl, who had nothing to do with this...

    I hope this helps other people not to lose any money or mercandise...

  175. As you sense, this is a scam and they are trying to scam you out of money. I would suspect the credit cards they are using are stolen. Which is why they were likely being declined. Until they hit upon one not yet identified as stolen. That's my guess. And they aren't going to wire you money because how can they steal your money then!

    You are right to withhold shipment, but really these scammers are typically after cash - they try to over pay an order and then ask you to *wire* (ironic, isn't it?) the difference to them. Then they have YOUR cash, and the original payment - in a check or on credit cards, will be a counterfeit check or stolen credit cards and the money pulled back by the credit card company or the bank.

    There is a way to call the card company to verify if the card has been reported as stolen.

    I can't verify for sure one way or another for you, but I can say this has all the flags of a scam and a "boutique" from Cote d’Ivoire has been a template in use by scammers.
