Hello I'm New here! Joined: 14 Mar 2007 Posts: 1

Hi everyone,
I got a random request for candles that I do not carry and have been playing e-mail tag with these scammers. What gave it away you ask? The period at the end of the name, the fact that the "financial manager" uses the same e-mail address as the CEO, the urgency to complete the transaction, and the list goes on...
--------------------------------------------------
The ccv no. is XXX. with the shipping address Mr. Wilson will get back to you with that when he comes to the office on Wednesday morning.I am here to make sure the payment is done before Mr. Wilson comes in.

Thank You,
John Williams.

Hello & welcome lizzers! Good to see you did not fall for the scam, though if the scammer has any of your real details, e.g. email address, company address, etc. it would be best if you were to stop communicating with him immediately.
You can always create a baiting email address with made-up details and mess with the scammer from there - or you can sit back, read some stickies and other info on the site and leave the scammer to other forum members to play with Wink
