:arrow: Comment: Be careful - the buyer seems not to be interested in particular items - your own website shall be stated in your answer - the name of the shipper seems to exist (big company in UK) but the employee not - it is also not their official email adress----
Hope this helps.

We had variations of this scam attempts also with delivery
to Estonia - Martins Bill [email protected] (with a private person wanting to collect the goods)
to Australia - Ray Scott [email protected]
to USA - Paul Williams: [email protected]

Hi Juwel, welcome to Scamwarners.

Thank you for posting teh details of this scam, it will be a huge help in preventing others from being scammed.

There is another scam that is almost identical posted here viewtopic.php?p=14954#p14954 the scammer in that case nearly managed to scam a friend of mine, nearly, lucky I found out before she sent any money :wink:

If you have any questions, please ask

I came across your website when I was doing a Google search for Andrew Baker. My company was recently contacted by him and unfortunately we did not catch on to what he was doing until it was too late. His requests were not unusual in that they were not much different from what our other customers request from us.

I am still upset til this day over the success he had in his scam. I wish there was something we can do to stop him. I have copies of all my correspondence with him and someone named Matt Jerry who Andrew claimed handles all his shipping at Excel shipping company. Of course Matt is also involved in the scam.

If anyone has any ideas on how we can spread the word about Andrew Baker even more, I'm all ears. Thanks.

Typically when someone ask you to send you YOUR WEBSITE you should know it's a scam. If they want to order products from you they should know what they want to order - not ask you to send them your website to review.
