This was a pretty decent attempt to scam us and I thought I would share with all.

Recieved a email from Dr. Gregg Lipp, [email protected], phone is 233201540936. He emailed us requesting product pricing and I responded. He then asked me to contact Jeff Willson [email protected] for shipping pricing to give him a final quote.

Caller wanted parts shipped to:

ev. Jeff Hope
Gospel Church of Christ
968 Morris Street
Pagan Rd, Opera Bldg,
Tamale - Ghana

Here is the email I got back from the supposed shipping company:

There is no info on this shipping company I could find.

The initial person who contacted me by phone called and I told him he is a scammer, and the address the shipping company gave is not the shipping company. He said he would check and call back. Just thought I would share this will all.
