Scam Email: Tanja Kailis
This one just received is pretty classic. They are hiding the ball on the details of their scam until a person replies, then they will go more into detail about their shipper (who is really non-existent) and paying with a credit card (which will turn out to be stolen), and often they do not mention overpaying - which they will by a couple thousand dollars, explaining they need you to forward the difference to the shipper via Western Union. All their money is fake, you forwarding your money is real and they pick it up from Western Union and then can not be traced. It's why this particular format of the scam is so popular.
Thank you for printing this email. Our company has just received an identical one from the same person. A quick Google search of their email address turns up quite a few references to this being a scam.
ReplyDeleteLikewise I have received an identical email to this one. I appreciate you printing this as a Google search of their name has turned it up to being a scam.
