by +Mike Poller If you’ve received a scammer email, please enter it in the comments below so other printers may find it with a Google search, and avoid being ripped off… Don’t fall for printing, banners, t-shirts, plaques and awards fake order scams… This is how they work:
- You receive an unsolicited e-mail quote request.
- You respond with a quotation or ask for more information.
- Your quote will be accepted, immediately, no questions asked. They will supply you with credit card billing info.
- An “emergency” will come up and you will be asked to prepare the job for delivery to somewhere far, far away. I was asked to ship a supposed order to Sweden this morning.
- They provide a “recommended shipping company” contact email for you to get shipping costs. Typically a gmail, hotmail or yahoo email address.
- Shipping company quotes some huge sum. You are asked to charge the shipping, taxes and printing/product charges under one bill to a credit card.
- You go ahead and charge everything to the credit card.
- You are asked to pre-pay the shipping by Western Union Money Order upon pick-up by the shipper.
- Days later, the credit card is charged back to you. You are out whatever it cost you for the printing/product, your time and whatever you paid the shipper. The shipping company is bogus and is no doubt keeping some scammer drunk, fat and happy.
- Giveaways: The scammer never mentioned any artwork, just accepted my quote and asked me to proceed. Like that’s gonna happen… Religious messages, signing as Reverend or Minister and church-related jobs seem to be common in this type of scam.

Printer scam flyer looks like this
And this is the flyer artwork they will send you if it gets that far… It will be a low-res PDF file.
July 6, 2010 update: Well, well, well… the scammers are out in force. Just received an email from the actual person at the Bentley Drive address in Warrington, PA 18976. They are, needless to say, rightfully incensed about the use of their address. Please be advised the people in Warrington have nothing to do with this scam and have referred the matter to their local police department.

The scam message is below. I actually wasted my time getting the pricing together but sensed something was off when they gave no detail before accepting. After I figured it out I then left some VERY unprofessional choice words in a email to him. What a loser this idiot is.

This moron can’t spell “border”! What are the odds of an illiterate “Bishop”? Maybe he’s referring to some white guy who rents a room from him. And one who orders printing himself? Don’t they usually have minions or flunkies do that for them? Go figure!

I recently learned of a site that describes people’s efforts to scam these scammers. Check out this site if interested. If nothing else, it’s funny. The scammers are shown to be consistently stupid and desperate.

This clown just emailed me, I told him that he should spend more time trying to make Nigeria a better place rather than trying to scam the people who live in countries that have figured out how to have a civilized society.

Looks like they’ve made their way to Canada.
We’ve been contacted numerous times for printing and banners from Rev. Fred Walker but don’t reply back with a quote. But because Sterling Marking Products (London, Ontario, Canada) has many divisions we were again contacted Just prior to Christmas – but this time it was Mr. Daniel Grace of Grace & Sons of NY looking for Branding Irons – 8 to be exact. After he was quoted, he asked the Irons to be shipped to Batten & Sons in Sweden. That’s when I researched both companies and found this site. Thank you for having these posts available. It saved us thousands of dollars.
It’s hard enough in today’s economy to make an honest dollar – without having these thieves stealing from us. We have to have each other’s back in our fight to keep our businesses going – help out a fellow business owners/associates – let them know about this fraudulent act – forward them this link – I did 🙂

Bishop Carl seems to be based in Ghana (despite his Jacksonville contact line), and wants a quote on capacitors. I sent him an edited version of the Jameco catalog. Of course, I don’t have any capacitors. Capacitors are smaller than other items being asked for in this scam, so I might even send him a few bricks of styrofoam (yes, I’m willing to spend a few bucks to piss off a scammer), we’ll see where this goes.
Mugu was dumb enough to send his pitch to an abuse reporting address too.
The wording alone should be a tip off and send up all sorts of red flags

We would have to order more 5 LB ABC extinguishers to fill your order for pickup at our service center.
We would require a 60% security deposit via cash or certified check to place the order for 60 fire extinguishers.

Got the same with the same requestor that was listed above. You would at least think maybe they would use a new e-mail address. Fred Walker seemed desperate to push the job throuhg & when a full deposit was requested & declined he decided to cancel his order. I tried to get an address location other than the Netherlands, but he would not provide any information, nor would he contact me dirctly, and then he spamed me lol

I received the same 60M flyer estimate yesterday and it set off my radar so it checked online and found this site.
They are now using the name:
Tom Bence
Poineer North Inc
113 E San Bernardino Ave
Redlands, CA 92374
We are from England and have just had a very similar scam, when we received the email it sounded odd so we hiked the price substantially and they wouldnt let us use our courier which was three times cheaper. The said printing was going to Netherlands. Alarm bells ringing big time. So I spent 15 minutes on the internet and found your site.
They appear to be using local addresses and phone numbers now (though not smart enough to match the address and phone number to the same local town). Message from scammer as follows:
My name is Mr Bryan Charles with the Charles & Son’s Inc, And i am sending this email to your business in regards to the order for some Flyer’s and the Sizes that i am looking for are :

4. Red Ink on White
5. Flat flyer’s l want you to write of the flyer’s ( HELP LET’S SAVE THE CHILDREN )
For the Artwork.
6. No Bleed
And Please provide a quote on 100,000 copies and please send me an email reply back with the Estimate price of that plus tax without shipping .Advise me the method of of payment you accept.I will be Looking forward to hear back from you so that we can proceed with the Order .Urgently waiting to hear from you soon.Thank you.

I received this e-mail in the e-mail I use for my business. It is the 2nd one like this that I have received. Each e-mail was from a different person, but they were both about ordering a bunch of candles. I answered the 1st one and when he finally told me to use a shipping company I had never heard of, I finally told him I was not interested any longer.
Getting this second e-mail prompted me to search the internet for the company through searching for their phone number: (661)-771-6987. That’s when I found this site. Here’s the e-mail I received:

I am familiar with the Nigerian scams about inheriting millions of dollars and this smacks of those scams. Two of the ways to tell that those Nigerian scams are scams are:
– They are always addressed to some generic person
– The English used and grammar used is horrible
The above e-mail fits both of these criteria.
Since this e-mail did not have an opt out link in it, I put it in my Junk mail. That way, if I ever get any more e-mail from this sender, it will go to junk. I then deleted all of my junk mail.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
Something in a few of the emails just jumped out at me (I don’t own a business and haven’t received one of these at work that I’ve seen, I’m just on a fraud-reading binge) and that’s the use of the words “go ahead”.
I seem to recall being told, when I worked at a company with partial outsourcing to India, that “go ahead” or “go ahead and” is a phrase that might be heard often when receiving instructions from an outsourced employee and, while it sounds rude to a westerner, is actually sort of a particular translation of an Indian phrase that is quite polite.
Of course I’ve looked into that just now and can’t find any evidence to back me up, but I thought I’d mention it just in case it’s true and helps out anybody thinking about trying to track the origin of these scams.
I work for a company in Australia who commissions work and equipment from overseas. The reality of international shipping is that we like to control the shipping process — when we’ve let suppliers handle that in the past they often stuff up the customs paperwork, leaving our order stranded whilst we educate the supplier about the correct way to do international commerce.
The main thing which distinguishes us from these scammers is that we will pay for the shipping and marine insurance — all you need to do is to pack the product.
We usually pay Ex Works; that is, you are paid by bank transfer when the goods are on your loading dock. We don’t pay until our customs agent says the goods are boxed and on the loading dock and you don’t let the boxes go into a truck until your bank says nice things. Because of timezone differences there is usually a gap of a day each between inspection, payment, and shipment.
If we both used the same customs agent, we might slightly optimise that by having the agent pick up the goods, but acting as your agent until your bank was happy, then you’d sign over the shipment to us.
If we did do a Delivery Duty Paid shipment then it is fully expected that the supplier’s shipper is used. Part of the appeal of DDP is that the buyer need not deal with shipping and customs, and so interesting ourselves in those details would undermine why we would choose DDP in the first place. You would tell your shipping company to clear customs but to hold before local delivery. You would then ensure that payment was complete prior to local delivery.
I hope the above gives you a notion of how international commerce works, and so better identify scammers.
Received this e-mail this afternoon, didnt respond to it thanks to a sharp eyed designer…

I got this Oct 10, 2011. Being a new company I jumped at the chance for a big job. But the longer this went on I got suspicious. Then when the shipping to Norway request came in and he wanted me to do it, it made me really sure something was not right. He was totally unconcerned about the artwork and was totally happy with the first price I quoted him. I have just sent him an email telling him I found this scam and I will not be able to help him with this job any longer. I guess we will see what happens!

I got one of these today, and get them every so often. This one was from fred_walker41@yahoo.com. I thought it looked like one of these scams so I Googled the email address and found this page! With the guys email already on here! Just want people to be aware and not fall for it. Punctuation is usually wierd and usually from a Reverand or church related. Usually for 8.5×11 flyers. Thanks! Here’s what the email was:
“Hello,
Can your company provide a quote on 60,000 copies of flyers. These will be printed with the following specification.
1. measures 8.5′ x 11′
2. 80# Gloss Text
3. One sided
4. Full color
and let me know if you do accept credit card for this order.
Thank you
God Bless

We too received one today. He was very quick to respond. His return email was printonyx@rockisland.com

After her was quoted his response was to get the shipping information first, then he would supply credit card information:
Shipping Company Name: PROUD SHIPPING

Contact Email Address: PROUDSHIPPING@HOTMAIL.COM
Delivery Address
Shipping Address
B $ H Co Ltd

The Netherlands ,
We got an echo from Fred Walker. Didn’t buy into it, as the client gave us a residential address from Los Angeles, a phone number from Cleveland, OH, wants us to contact a shipping company from Ghana, Africa, to send 60,000 fliers to a non-existent B $ H corporation in Amsterdam (whose address happens to be the same as the University of Amerstam’s). They gave us non-sensical artwork (“STOP CHILD LABOR”) and expect us to take credit card.
We’re in the habit of working locally, so this request didn’t seem to make sense.
Thanks all (and God bless),
Matt

We get emails like this 3 or 4 times a year. On one, I responded with an expletive and told them I reported them to the FBI. They responded by trying to send me back a Hallmark card attachment with a trojan virus inside. I fortunately knew about the greeting card scams “Somebody is thinking about you and has sent you a card. etc….) so I just deleted it.
I agree with the post that if you decide to respond and tell these people off, do it with a throw-away email account.
Glad I found your site today … Thanks so much!! An email request I received sounded weird so I searched the name “Tom Bence”.
Here is the email … I did not even respond.

We received the same email for 80,000 save the children request from mikeherberts2@gmail.com for the same flyer. I am so glad I found this as we had invested too much time in determining if we would proceed. So glad we did not! I actually think the man called on the phone to get my real name and company email to send this order to. It seems like someone could trace the credit card and know exactly who the culprit behind these are. Anyone had success getting and keeping the money?

Just got this same printing email scam from some guy named Scott Beard. After quoting it and him getting back about the shipping to Sweden and using some phoney shipper…. here is my response:
—————-
Scott, thanks so much for the information. For a first time order that is shipping out of the country we will require the following payment terms:
To get the order processing:
50% payment of printing cost ($2,200) via Western Union Money Order.
Upon order completion and prior to shipping company pick up:
Remaining 50% balance ($ 2,200 + shipping costs) can be paid by any major credit card.
I can contact your shipper via email with the specifications so they can get a quote ready.
Thanks!
———————–
Just having some fun with them…. lol… like they’ll actually send me $2,200 via WU….. lol
Got a news flash for everyone regarding Money Orders. Just like a check, Stop Pay orders can be placed on them, meaning you lose your money. Had a run-in with a client over this topic many years ago, and we did get our money after threatening criminal action. Doubt that the laws on this matter have changed much in the ensuing years.
Credit cards transactions, even if paid in the normal 3 banking day routine, can be recalled days, or weeks later, and you the merchant are the loser, not these scammers.
The best idea, when you know you are dealing with a scam, stop contact.
Here is the latest that I received just today:

So needless to say, I did a little googling because it seemed a little strange that someone from LA would contact a small-time printer in New England about a job going to the Netherlands (also look at that freight company email address, seriously? you couldn’t do better than a hotmail address…..?) Thanks to Google Maps street view, I determined no such place existed and happened to stumble upon this website, so I thought I’d share this with you all.

Jackmoore432@gmail.com wanted 50 plus items on my website and listed a bogus shipping company. He is from Ukraine. Gave elaborate directions how to ship to him. I figured he got my website somehere but asked what products I sold which made me suspicious.
James strikes again……jame.larry41@yahoo.com. No conscience at all. Karma and God catch up to everybody eventually.

Got the same as above here in Australia. Smelt something fishy so googled it. Will be a lot of people who get caught out though. Nearly as stupid as those ‘you’ve won $1,000,000’ ones
I got one from ‘JAME LARRY ‘. Thought it sounded weird, here’s the email:

A man named Fred Walker using the same CA address and the same Netherlands shipping address and word for word message in his email tried to place a $20K order using a credit card and we knew it was a scam out of the gate. I did a quick search and found this site, so thanks for exposing these theives.
Randy Mogan – Fraud
emailed my company looking for Shrink Vacuum Tunnels. I felt fraud right off the bat but continued in the case that it might be legit. He insisted on me using his shipping company to deliver the product to the Netherlands, and I advised him the AIRWIDECARGOFREIGHT1@HOTMAIL.COM email address doesn’t add up. If they are a International shipper, why don’t they have their own domain?? He still insisted, of course I quoted my own shipper and a secure payment method and no reply since. Beware All!

Thanks a lot for getting back to me. the Shipping company don’t deal with Individuals.they only deal with companies or organizations and however they accept payment only from where the merchandise are going to be picked up.This is because there will be a form which is going to be signed at the day of the pick up that’s why i told you to contact them for me and get back to me with the grand total cost and then I will proceed payment.Pls do me that favor.
Kind Regards

Has anyone seen one of these requests from “Marlon Freidel? His request this morning sounds like these other scams but it’s not exactly the same. Can anyone confirm that this is, or is not, a scam?
Thanks in advance.
cps Admin–
We received the same email from Marlon Freidel yesterday. We are located in central Ohio (near Columbus). I googled his email address and he has made several posts asking for quotes on other websites… mainly for wooden plaques.
-JL
Jamie Lang, I did the same research and came up with the same information. This morning, he responded to my request for a business name that
the 100,000 fliers he wants a quote on is not for a business but for him personally. He also gave a home address and phone number but google seems to indicate the address is in a business complex. The phone number is with a Washington state area code but the address is in Newark, NJ. Pretty sure it’s a scam, as I suspected.
We received the 100,000 piece order from Marlon Friedel mfreidel60@gmail.com Asking for it to be printed and shipped to South Africa via a requested freight company. Other UPS Stores got the same e-mail and I have been alerted it is a Scam. Thanks for this site to help keep us independent business owners aware of scams that could take down our biz!!
We received the following e-mail at two different locations. Our printer received numerous quotes to price the exact same job:
Good Morning,
Please get me a quote on printing 100,000 copies of fliers.
Flat Size: 8.5 x 11
Paper Type & number of sheets per item: 100# gloss text
Ink Color(s): Full Color
Printing Style: One side + bleeds
Turn Around Time: 7-8 business days in production after proof approval
Please advise total pricing for pick up including tax.

We received something similar but via fax. There was nothing on the top or bottom of the fax(such as phone #, date, time, etc…)
The grammer and punctuation were the first clues of a scam. They didn’t even get the Part#’s correct.
Glad I googled it first!

My company supplies fire extinguishers and yesterday received a request for a quotation for 5lb Dry Chemical extinguishers. That was immediately followed by an order for 100.
The email is so poorly written I knew it was a scam but just wondered how they profited from it. Glad I read the other responses here.

We got the Terry Alex scam ordering 100 fire extinguisher from our company today. Thanks to all of your cmments we realized this was a scam. The key clue was the grammer in his replys. We would have never figured this to be false, again thank you for your help.

Truthfully though, my printer IS broken down at this moment, and parts are in the mail, yikes!

Martin,
Please send me your bank account number, and your credit card information (Cardholder info, Address, Zip Code, and 3 Digit Number on the back please).
Once I receive a Clear, Non-Refundable Deposit of $2,300.00 USD for the banners, I will begin the sketch.
After your acceptance of the sketch, I will require the Balance of an additional $2,500.00 USD, before I will begin production.
At that time, I would be able to release the Banners to you.
If that is acceptable, please begin the process, and we’ll go from there.
Since this is urgent on your part, I will need to know by 3:00pm US Eastern Time, Thursday July 19, 2012
Thanks,
Gene

Martin, or James,
No Credit Card Information was included with your correspondence.
Nothing begins without deposit.
Nothing ships without Balance Paid in Full.
If I don’t have verification by 3pm today (Eastern Time, US – ONE hour from now) I cannot promise a completion date that will satisfy your needs.
Sorry if that is not acceptable to you.
After 3pm, there will be Rush Charges Applied to the Order, and that would add 30% to the entire Order.
If you wish to proceed, then please send the Credit info I requested in the initial email response.
After that, it will be up to YOU to contact Affordable Shipping to arrange pick up.
Any Delivery Charges will be Additional to your order.
I cannot deal with a shipping company that has a gmail account.
It must be verifiable.
Sincerely,
Gene

I received an email this morning from James Fred Hall (jamesfred1010@gmail.com)
After sending the quote and seeing how easily and quickly he replied back saying:
I decided to do a Google search on the email address and sure enough found this page.
The red flags for me were:
1) Quick response to the quote amount
2) No proof request
3) Freight service to South Africa
4) Using a freight company that he would like me to pay for using my credit card number
Was bcc’ed on this request for quote, and thought it odd, since I’m not a printer, and it wasn’t addressed to me. googled the email address and found this page.

I’d also like to add our that he sent us artwork, when we requested it. his company is : SOS Children’s villages South Africa. after that i sent him the following:
Hi tim, that’s not a problem at all. We can also ship out if you are not local.
The total cost would be $79,000 including tax plus shipping. For a job this size we do require a deposit of 2/3 the cost which would be $52,666.66. If you’d like to call or email a credit card we can begin printing your job. We also accept money orders via moneygram, westernunion and paypal payments.
Please let me know!

A few years ago I received the same scam for the first time. They actually provided artwork. I was asked to split the cost over 2 credit cards. Both were approved. Being the suspicious type, I called my credit card processor who gave me the name of the issuing banks for the two credit cards. I called the issuing banks and was informed that although both cards were active, the names on the cards didn’t match and the whole thing was, in fact a scam. What I want to know is how the credit cards were approved when there was no name, expiry date and CVV match. Our terminal is set to reject none matches for these items.
Matches your others exactly:

Had him send a file for giggles – it was a letter-sized PDF and all it said was “SAVE THE CHILDREN” in big white block letters with a drop shadow on a yellow background. Nothing else. I thought that was pretty funny.
I have had many attempts of being scammed by these emails and researched and found them to be what they were. Had a customer fall for the scam even though we tried to counsel him about it. He lost his business because of it, he went with someone who would print the banners for him. I received this email today and feel it is a scam but can’t find anything on it. Just my gut tells me it is. Here’s the email:

Subject: Banners Order
Good Day,
This is Mr.Murray Casey from JB Deco and am willing to purchase some banners from your shop.The description is as shown on the artwork with the same colors.
Sizes………………………..24″x60″
Quantity………………….. 150pieces
I would like this order to be pickup at your shop when completed.If you cannot have it within 21 working days in your shop for pickup, please notify me immediately.Get me the total price of the banners ASAP so that we can proceed.Do you accept credit cards?
Regarding.
The language has the same flair as the “Save the Children” or “Feed the Hungry” banners. This is still a low res file they sent but different verbiage, it is about summer sports camp. However, I have never had anyone want to order 150 banners that said the same generic thing either. So, I sent back a reply refusing the order.
Anyone know anything about this one?

Got this one too. (See below) I called the number and actually spoke with a real person… English was a barrier, said contact was “in a meeting.” Business listed in CA. No LTD entity named as such was found in the CA Government Business Registry. Why were we suspicious of this? 1) Unsolicited, 2) Seemed too “generic” and 3) Oh, yeah, we’re not a printing company.

I received the same email from David Turner Ministries.
Had a strange feeling about this from the start. Unsolicited and asking for a quote on something we don’t even print and would need to job-out. Then wanted to ship them to Oslo, Norway. Awkward word choices and phrases. And the contact at the shipping company he referred had the same awkward grammar. He was reluctant to share his artwork and when he did it was merely a page with a yellow background with the words, “Save the Children” in white type. He referred me to AFB Freight but their email didn’t match what he had given me, which was spelled incorrectly. AFB doesn’t even ship internationally. Maybe scam artists should use their creativity in a positive way.

This is the second time they have tried this on with me, very amateur try at scamming, I gave them a price of ten times more than it was worth and they would still like to go ahead, told them artwork was rubbish and asked them to send me hi res artwork. Played them for about 10 emails then told them how very amateur they were, yet they are still doing the same scam! If anyone falls for this they must be mental and not fit to be in business lol

Just received this enquiry here in London for the exact same spec and asking for it to be shipped to South Africa. Don’t these scammers realise the first thing any sensible person would do is Google them. I suppose it only takes one to slip through the net and that’s a few grand added to their deceitful coffers,
Third scam email this week…

MY RESPONSE
Hi,
This will cost 1 million pounds, we only deliver using our own courier and we require cash up front,
I look forward to your response,
Thanks
We are a small business, and have been receiving numerous calls and emails from Richard Harrison, Ph: 216-640-7787 and 233244049319, address 1240 East 9th Street, Cleveland, OH 44199. He wants us to ship a very large order to Mr. Steve Morgan, Tegeluddsvagen 5, Stockholm Sweden, SE-11 579.
He says we need to use his freight forwarder, Impex Shipping, Inc. (Mr. James Franco, Tel: 233546674250, Em: impexshippings1@hotmail.com). Impex says they will only accept payment from the origin and they want over $3,300!!! And via wire transfer!!! We told him we could not do this (thanks to this website!) and now he still wants us to use a shipper that will take it door-to-door. We have found that Fed Ex leaves orders at Customs, but UPS will deliver all the way. So we don’t know if we should accept his credit card. He has a U.S. card. However, it is our understanding that, if it is a scam, the credit card will go through but then they will cancel the order and get their money back on the credit card. Meanwhile, we will have shipped the order and we are out the equipment. The country code 443 on the phone number is Ghana. What should we do?
I forgot to say that I googled the first address and it is the Marine Corps in Cleveland. I googled the second address and found it on this website. It may be a t.v. station in Stockholm.
HI There,
I just got the same one and i did send back a quote. Only when he accepted quote with no questions did i google him and find all of this! Thank god i did! We are a small company and this would have been terrible! Email Below:

Mary, If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Legitimate businesses rarely use gmail and hotmail addresses. If Western Union cash transfers are good enough for them, why don’t you demand the same thing from them? Make them prepay so you can pick up cold, hard cash at WesternUnion. Then ship…

Thanks for the quick response back and i will like to explain to you that the reason why i will like to use the shipping company is because with that shipping company the receiver is not to pay for any additional charges on international shipment at the delivery location such as international taxes,Tariffs,custom and clearance duties etc and sometimes this charges can even be more than the value of the shipment and that is why i want to use them because with the other shipping company’s you will realize that for all international shipment the receiver is propelled to pay for some additional charges before receiving the package and sometimes because these charges are more than the value of the shipment the receivers are left with no option but to leave the package at the carrier facility and so i don’t want to encounter that problem that is why i am using the shipping company and so i will like you to send me an email back with the total cost for the order plus shipping and handling charges so that we can proceed with the payment and so can you send me an email back and let me know the information on my master card that you will be needing to process the charges because i want to make full payment and also i will like you to handle the shipping and so if there is any additional handling or administrative charge you need to add to the total charge for handling the shipping go ahead and so do and will like you to handle the shipping and we will like you to know that they will handle the paperwork (Labels & Commercial Invoice) and all they will need from you is the paid invoice for the order and also as soon as the shipment is picked up from your location it will no more be your responsibility.

Mr David May
i got the spam email request yesterday and it appeared to be legitimate as i am in a small area where we have mines and such and this is not an outrageous request. largest i have had but …
i sent ‘david may’ a quote on the ‘world’ artwork and then realized i could do a better pricing for him. when he responded, he approved the FIRST quote and also gave me his info and all that mike mentioned.
this is my response …
“now that i know more of where you are and where this is going, i am CONFIDENT that you don’t know where I am nor that you have checked with anyone closer to you.
i am ALSO confident that you could have gotten this closer to your delivery location for the same if not less cost.
AND, i don’t take credit cards from anyone for 1st – 4th orders. and definitely not for this size order. a chq would be fine from someone close by so i can verify funds. however, since you are so far away and i don’t know you, cash only as there are too many scams going on out there.
the weight of the paper is 2340 lbs. i am in the centre of BC, an hour west of prince george so you can figure out the shipping. i am down a person today so am not able to spend any further time getting you information re shipping at this time.
thanks again for your enquiry into my business. if you decide to go forward, it would be cash required before anything happens further.”
figured it was a professional and diplomatic, yet straight forward, response. i am ALSO confident that i won’t hear from him again.
keep vigilant people!!! and thanks, mike, for giving all the ‘heads up’ on stuff like this. if it seems too good to be true …
Hola, from Salamanca, Spain:
Hemos recibido estos mensajes-estafa del Sr. Morrison.
TENGAN MUCHO CUIDADO
1)
Sir/Madam,
I am planning an individual/private Spanish course for my two sons (aged 20 & 22 years) based on 4 hours per day (20 hours/week) for 4 weeks. The planned date is from 7th October – 1st November, 2013 (4 weeks flexible) for total beginners. The purpose of the study is to expand their marketing business opportunities.
If this date is fully booked, please advise the next available 4 weeks within November/December, 2013. Also let me know your total cost including taxes, registration fee and cost of materials for the planned 4 week period. Accommodation should not be included.
Kindly let me know if you accept full payment in advance using certified bank check or credit card and note that am not able to make bank transfer due to my present sailing location.
I ask for a quick response so that this booking can be confirmed as early as possible.
Many thanks and kind regards
2) “Hello,
I have seen your total cost for the course and have decided to proceed.
I will prepay you directly with a bank check but before I do so, I want to make a humble request. I have contacted a tour operator to make arrangement for the air travel tickets, car hire service and accommodation for my children during the period.
I have already concluded arrangement with him pending the receipt of his fund in the amount of €7500 and am not able to pay him directly because he does not accept bank check.
Unfortunately, am not able to make bank transfer to neither him nor you due to my present sailing location.
On this note, I have resolved to issue you with a bank check for a total amount of €9000.
On receiving the check, deposit it into your account for clearing. When you have the fund cleared in your account, deduct and keep your course fee of €1500 and proceed to send the amount of €7500 to the tour operator via a swift bank transfer. I will provide you with the operator’s banking details. All taxes, bank charges and commissions will be deducted from the operator´s fee before the transfer is made. An invoice from the operator to you is also available if needed for your book-keeping records.
Find below students´ list for the booking receipt;
Mr. Samuel Morrison
Mr. Edmund Morrison
Kindly confirm this arrangement and get back to me with your NAME (as it will appear on the check) POSTAL ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER for payment.
Regards,
Mark Morrison

I got one today from Joshua Crow of Joshua And Sons Inc.
It was sent from a gmail address and requested pricing for 60,000 flyers. I did a Google search and found this page.
I’ve also received one from something like the “World Church”
The artwork was very generic like the one shown here. I emailed them asking if they wanted an address or contact info, and they didn’t respond.
For years people have taken advantage of others who want to make a quick buck. Take it easy and be careful!

Don’t fall for this scam like I almost did and learn from what I just learned, always pray and seek Gods will for every aspect of your life don’t take a breath without seeking God’s will for it! Praise Jesus he saved me again!
Received an email from david.may55@gmail.com just like this this morning. Googled the email address and landed here! thanks for confirming my suspicions!
Thank you so much for posting this. My family owns a printshop (I don’t) so when I got the email from david.may55@gmail.com of course I forwarded the request for quote. Who doesn’t want 120,000 fliers and the possibility of converting a new prospect?
Googled his email to see if I could figure out which company / organization he was with. Conveniently enough I found your post and was able to warn my family.
Good looking out, thank god for printers that blog!
Thank you for reporting this scam. The email address they used in my case is: david.may55@gmail.com

I had my suspicions and after seeing so many with the exact same text in the email, plus all the other info, I am now convinced. Thanks for posting everyone! My email was the same text, from David May (david.may55@gmail.com) so make sure you junk that one too!
Mr. “Barry” has been emailing us, as well, to our general email box, looking for said 120,000 “Classic” full-page flyers (whatever the hell that means). Obviously, we flagged him as spam. FYI for all other printers for emails out of the blue: we ONLY sell to clients who “decloak off the starboard bow” and let us know their (a) real/business email address, not just a gmail/yahoo address, (b) real street address, not just a PO Box; and, (c) real land line phone, and not just a cell phone. If said/would-be clients cannot produce these, then their chance of being fly-by-night has statistically and dramatically increased. DON’T SELL TO THEM. Real clients do not hide in the shadows and conduct themselves in a transparent fashion. Best, Sean
We received the same email and the same instructions as above. The original email came from “david.may55@gmail.com”. I just had a hunch and checked it out before processing. Thank you all for posting.

I received this same e-mail from David and figured it was a BS scam…after 30 years in business they are pretty obvious to me. Why would someone from SF want something made here in the US and shipped to South Africa.

I received the david.may55@gmail.com scam email this morning and knew immediately that it was most likely a scam. Of course when I Googled “david.may55”, it returned this website. I have received a number of these over the last few years and almost fell for the first one, which was about banners, but, ran it by another shop before replying. Thanks to websites like this one for keeping our industry informed about such scams.

Got this scam over the weekend. It was very well done – at least a plausible print request. Except that a request from someone in San Francisco asking me (in Ohio) to send something to South Africa was enough of a stretch that I Google’d the name and found this information. Thank you for taking a few things off my plate for the day. !!
got it lest week but remember from a few year ago the same story …..
We get these requests all the time, We ALWAYS ask fro them to call our office or give us a number to talk over the phone, they never respond…….. No matter how tuff business is or how you think this could be your next big order, STOP!!!! and think about it…..Its not worth IT!!!! , my customers ask for a proof on something as little as $10, if there not worried about what there are getting, then its a scam!!!! actual email attached:

I received an email asking for a quote on 60,000 flyers from a Rev. John Larry (john.larrry51@gmail.com). I thought it seemed weird and wondered how he got our info, but I sent him a quote. He responded to the quote and sent me artwork that had a picture of Jesus on it. He recommended a company for shipment because he wanted to ship them to Sweden. Asked me to email them (bestoneshipping@hotmail.com) and get a shipping quote. At this point I Googled his email address and found this article! Thank you so much for posting this! If I stop responding, do you think he already has enough information about me to do anything? He has my name, number and probably can look up our company’s billing address from our website.

This is the second time this scam has been tried on me. This guy was much better than the last, and I went for it the first time, the credit cards they gave me were all declined or I would have been pulled in.
I sell cooling towers, so it was not printing, but the same format.
Thank you for taking the time to put this on the internet so others can be saved from falling for this kind of stuff.
This guy uses the same Bill Garret name as your scam.

They are now doing this to locksmiths such as myself now. I ended up turning them away once they wanted to order 500 padlocks equaling over $7,000 which just seemed an outrageous quantity. They wouldn’t say what they were going towards just to give them 3 padlock pricing. I asked for tons of information such as what size,shape,keyway,color,grade they wanted and they would only repeat i need pricing for 3 different padlocks. I decided to see what they actually wanted so I gave them the list of pricing of what we stock and that’s when they wanted to order 500 of a certain one.
The following is the address they wanted me to ship it to which is when I found out it was bogus.

Gotta be careful these days.
Great post, we have been wise to these scams for a number of years but interesting to see how many companies they are still trying to fool.
I always check the web address, and to be honest if the return email is a generic provider we steer clear everytime. A bonafide company would never try and do business that way!

Here is the scam: They want to purchase your product but want you to use their preferred shipping company. This shipping company must be pre-paid. The buyer will give you a credit card to pay for the shipping cost, the credit card is approved, you pay the shipping company, they have your product and your money. A week later you get a notice from your credit card company that the card was invalid and they take the money out of your account.

Email : Jameswilson013@gmail.com
=============
Google Street View indicated that the Queensland address was a suburban house. The use of a gmail email address made me suspicious as well.
I responded, and got this reply:
==============
Thanks very much for the Quote…I hereby wish to confirm to you that I accept the Quote for the Order.
I would like to have the order picked-up from you and i want you to contact the below Freight Forwarder on their e-mail address to obtain a freight pick-up quote for me…
Company name : SKYLINES LOGISTICS INC.
E-mail address : SKYLINES.LOGISTICS@OUTLOOK.COM
Contact person : MR. BERNARD HAYFORD
You will need to include the delivery address listed below for them to provide you with the accurate freight quote using their freight service for this shipment;
Mr. Larry Nacey
15, Clercine 14
Grald Bataille
Port-au-Prince
HT 6110, Haiti
Also in order for them to provide you with a freight pick-up quote, they will require for you to add the following information for them to be able to provide you with a freight quote.
===========
The sudden shift of destination from Queensland, Australia to Haiti, plus the Outlook address for the freight forwarder, made me even more suspicious, confirmed by a Google search which found this page.
I’ll string this bastard along by saying that our ‘despatch department’ handles all deliveries, and will now chase him for the artwork.
Thanks for the info!
They are now onto countertops:

Well, I’m certainly glad for sites just like this. I did receive the scam email from Tim William AKA William & Son, looking for 300pcs of 16 gage galvanized 48×36. Just as written above, he agreed with no questions on the price and would pay CIA “since I don’t have established credit with your company” he then gave me his “preferred carrier” as the material was going to be delivered to “The church of god” in Norway. Knowing that credit card charges can be reversed and feeling suspicious about his eagerness I decided to Google William & Sons and found the above. We did in fact run his credit card and had the money but had not started the order yet. We quickly reversed the payment back to his card and informed Mr. Tim William that his order was not going to be processed.
