Scam Email: Thomas McCoy

Here's a great example that was sent to me of how the scammers come up with these stupid stories to explain WHY they have to use their shipper. It's the crux of the scam. It's not funny that they explain yes their shipper IS expensive and then go on to explain how the victim will have to forward the shipping payment to the shipper.

There is no shipper. It doesn't say it below, but next they will explain why the victim has to send it via Western Union and of course it is just scammer at the other end of Western Union waiting to pick up your good money when they've sent a fake check or used a stolen credit card number (often one that will initially clear because it has not yet been reported as stolen but *will* result in a chargeback when the actual card owner figures out their card number has been compromised).

Don't fall for this.

Thanks for your update. My shipper's freight charge is extremely exorbitant but the fact is that I have used PARKSENDFREIGHTS Cargo for over 3 times for shipment from the US, Canada and oversea. They are effective and get my orders to my door step (3-4 Days delivery) which seems to be very convenient for me. They required shipping charge is handled by the merchant of the subject since it is a commercial based (which means you have to charge my card for the overall cost of the order then make payment to the shipper for pickup). I was made to understand that Custom Duties/ handling charge are inclusive.Therefore, I need you to get back to me with the overall cost of my order(cost of merchandise plus shipping charge) and lets have my order completed.

Thanks for your understanding.
