Hello Claudehauper! Welcome to 419Eater! Good to have you!

Looks like an interesting find that can find its origins/designs in many differing avenues for the scammer to go.

1) Could be a overpayment scam.
2) Could be using stolen cards to pay for goods to be used to further a scam.
3) Could lead to a charity scam.

Don't be surprised if no one jumps right away on any posted scam mails. We are not quite like sharks at a feeding frenzy. Besides we barely know you. Please post headers as well as the body of the email.

Feel free to read stickies as the can offer insight in to what we do so you know what to give us. If you feel like baiting yourself, grab a mentor.

Very Happy

I'm seeing if he'll send me any credit card info, I am charging him 1800 pounds after a 10% discount, is that a good deal?

Thanks Badger

I'm sorry but I already deleted the email so, the headers are gone. Guess I should have read the stickies.
Don't really have time to bait myself as have too many irons in the fire already but, I thought maybe you guys could have fun with it and I could check in once in awhile to see how it's going.

Little scumbag wants to give his Haiti charity scam more credibility. Welcome to eater claudehauper, you could try posting in surplus letters

Baiters look in there for lads offered up for adoption. Why not get a gmail addy and drop him a line yourself? You don't need to be there all day, just send and read when you can. You might find you like it!

If this were a real order, you would need roughly 1,350,000 square inches of print material for 200,000 labels of that size.
divided by 144 equals to 9,375 sq ft.
9,375x $3.50/sq ft= $32,812.50

Ask him if he wants 'screenprint" or "digital print"
Also ask him if he wants them "contour cut" ; thee contour cut costs another 75 cents/sq ft. which would add another $7031.25 to the pricetag.
But since those are WHOLESALE prices, you might want to mark them up about 35 to 40%. But whatever you think.

looks like we have acquired a resident print expert Very Happy

Oh yeah....
and if he wants to pick them up himself, tell him to bring a truck because that many labels would weight almost a ton. Smile

I just figured whoever was going to bait the guy, would need to sound like they were a real printer.

^ stick around, experts on strange subjects are always very handy to have around. As you may know, you can fit almost any amount of USD into two trunk boxes but it is always helpful to have real life info on technicalities when we talk to lads, it boosts the bait value up no end. Thanks for your info. Please let us have some more, paper weights and finishes are also good to know, along with printing machine types and speeds ( I could use that sort of stuff for fake cheque printing baits)

Claude, you can have a ball baiting this Lad, especially given your knowledge of the industry. You do not need hours per day. Just a few minutes per day to check your gmail and respond would be sufficient. Come on, give it a go! You may just find it is fun!

Ask him if he wants paper labels or 3mil, 2mil, or controltac vinyl decals gloss or flat, temporary, permanent, or static cling.
You could also ask him if these are for indoors or out. Tell him that for extra outdoor durabiliity, lamination is another $2/sqft

With all that applicable knowledge, you could bait his nuts off.

You really need to give this some thought claudehauper.
You have an excellent subject that could really turn out a fine bait there.
Reading your posts, I think you'll enjoy it.

It really isn't as daunting as it seems. In fact, it's a peice of piss. Very Happy

Why would they bait themselves?

Couldn't resist...

Interesting two new members getting contacted by the same scammer. Each professional in their field. Hmmmm.
