Hello,

Your other email address [email protected] failed, so I'm trying this email address.
Can you confirm that the following order is still accepted?
Item: Apple iPhone 3GS 32 GB with neutron inductor
Quantity: 10 (plus 4 free)
Total price: $ 3000 USD
Shipping address:
Xxxx
1632 Hall Place
Dallas, TX 75207
USA

I have already submitted the payment of $ 3000 USD to the bank account below.
I made the payment online, so I cannot provide a payment slip.
The transaction currently has the status "in process" and doesn't show a transaction number yet.
As soon as the transaction has been processed, I will provide the transaction number.

Best regards,
Xxxx.

Sorry, I missed that. Embarassed

I saw the website selling mobile phones and gadgets. I proceed to enquire about Apple iPhone 4, which they asked me to put down order and provide mailing address. I placed order for 1 piece of iPhone 4. The salesperson Ali Hammd asked me to make payment for $450 USD. I agreed to make payment by Telegraphic transfer via my Bank account. I was told that they will ship out once I send them the confirmation slip. A while later, I was told by Ali that they are unable to ship out 1 unit and I'll need to get at least 3 units. I refused as I do not have sufficient funds. He gave up persuading and told me that its ok and they will ship it out.

They would ask you to make payment to this account:
Account number - 83815145
Name of Bank - Barclays
Account Name: Ali Yusuf
Iban - GB72BARC20673783815145
BIC/SWIFT - BARCGB22 Sort - 206737
Bank Address: 114-116 high street,
City: Peterborough
Postal code: PE2 8DP
Country: United Kingdom

Payment was already cleared when I called the bank. the next day, I was told that they didn't receive the funds and that I will need to make payment via Western Union in order to have my items received on that day and that, the storeman made a mistake and is sending me 4 sets of iphone 4 and 3 sets of iPad instead of the 1 piece that I had requested for and they they wanted me to make payment for all of them. I told them that its impossible. In order to recieve the stock, I went to Western Union to transfer S450 USD to his BOSS's Account which Ali said that he was in Nigeria for a new store opening, and that his accountant is following him so I need to transfer to the below address:

FIRST NAME IKENNA
LAST NAME OBI ADDRESS 120 COMPUTER VILLAGE CITY IKEJA STATE LAGOS
COUNTRY NIGERIA
ZIP CODE 23401

Payment made on 21 Sep 2010 at 10am via Western Union and the Money was picked up in the afternoon. Ali promised delivery by 5pm yesterday, 22-Sep, but he disappeared from MSN messenger suddenly when I asked him to check my item delivery status. I checked the site which he provided www.delivery2udirect.totalh.com with the tracking number given and it simply shows item on transit. No news until today morning. He asked me if Malaysia is close to Singapore. And asked me about my tracking number. After a while he told me that my items are stuck at the customs and waiting for payment for tax charges and customer charges of $180 + $80 respectively and that it need to be paid under the company's name and that I would need to make payment to his company's account immediately if I want to receive my shipment. Shouldn't I be paying to the government for the taxes? Feeling very suspicious I asked that the company pays and then bill me for whatever is outstanding. He said that its not possible and that I should go make payment to his company if I want my package delivered today. I refused and asked for a cancellation and refund. He told me OK. But that will take days... if not, weeks! How crazy is that?

But it was too late.

Everyone BEWARE of this "Company" and the "Boss" Martin John and Sales person (Ali Hammd)!!!

Hello chocolatecandyfloss, welcome here.

I'm sorry to hear that you lost money to these criminals. Unfortunately, there's no way to get your money back. This group operates from Nigeria using made-up information and are almost impossible to track down.
You might want to move over to scamwarners.com and tell your story there. They are specialized in supporting scam victims.

I am working on this group. The bank account that you mentioned has already been reported to Alan, the mysterious bank account killer.
I also reported a few of the email addresses that they use. One got killed; the second one is waiting to be acted upon.
Unfortunately Microsoft often takes a long time before acting on my reports.

Also, their website is still up. webs.com also doesn't react to my reports. Sad

Edit:
Some more information:

The phones that you ordered do not really exist. The scammers never sent any phones and never intended to do so.

The tracking company website is completely fake. It's just another way to make you believe that the phones are on their way and to trick you into paying the customs fees.

The address in Nigeria used for the Western Union transfer is most likely fake too. If you give them the MTCN of the transfer, the money can be picked up almost everywhere in Western Africa without any form of ID. Based on the IP addresses of the emails that I received from them, I believe that the group is located in Lagos, Nigeria though.

Thanks for your response, Captain. They have no idea that I have reported them and are still contacting via msn to convince me to make payment to their "company" in order to receive my orders. How I wished I could pin them!

I will take note next time... And will post my story on the site you have provided. Thanks again. Wink

It`s a bad thing when you get scammed. It`s happened to me before.
A lot of us(or family members) on here have fallen for these scammers in one way or another.
You have joined the best place to fight back.
Tracing these people will be extremely hard and they also use multiple identities.
At least you can have a go at fighting back, even if it`s only for the principle of the matter. Wink

Posted: Mon Sep 27, 2010 1:04 am

This time round, the scamers used another identity as the delivery company's person-in-charge to send this email. Earlier on, no matter how I try to contact the delivery company, there was no use. Suddenly, they appeared out of nowhere... which of course, by now, I'd already known its from the same person.

Would love to try baiting, but duno how to go about it. They had not contacted me through last weekend, but tried to call me again this morning. I ignored. Maybe they want to get back at me... What should I do? They have my address...

Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2010 9:04 am

They rarely if ever work at weekends.
I would ignore them, delete the email account you used to contact them.
If they call you, tell them that you have just bought your phone from a friend, who has gone to live abroad etc. So you don`t know anything about it and tell him to go away.

You can then try baiting them if you want. But don`t mention the deal you had with them.
Just look around the forum and ask people.
Members are always willing to help. Twisted Evil

thank you. I think I have another potential scammer. He seems to be from a similar type of setup... Will try...

Go for it and bait safe !!!! Twisted Evil

@chocolatecandyfloss: You ask what to do, given they have your address, and evidently phone number. Although LEOs can apparently be slow to act on scams, they are much quicker to act on threats. If you receive multiple calls within a certain period of time (I think it's 4 within an hour here, or something, but if you get multpile over any period of time, just try it) report the number, with a description of the calls, to your phone service provider, and, if they threaten you, to the police. try to record any calls you receive if you can, especially to prove you've been threatened.

Do not bait this lad with anything that could be connected to your real address. if you want to bait him, set up a character. do not bait him into calling you so that you can report him. just drop him unless he keeps pushing, then only report hi8m to your provider and/or LEOs if you can.

Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2010 7:45 am

Yeap. Definately. There's no number display when his call comes in. I think he has blocked his number from being displayed.

Will take note of that and in the meantime, there's another lad that I am reporting on the phone lad forum.

Not quite a Newb Joined: 28 Sep 2010 Posts: 79

blocking a number from being displayed is not the same as blocking a number from being transmitted. If you call your provider and report 'the last number that called, 4 times, but I can't tell you the number because it came up as blocked' they should be able to process your request, although they will not (i doubt) tell you what the number was.

Either way, you might as well try, given that if they can't help you, they should at least be able to tell you what it is they DO need to be able to process it...
