Hi again,

thanks for the advices.
We are in Canada, and so we'll see what we can do about the police report.

Also, do you know what will happen next ?
Since we charged funds on their credit card.
Will Visa contact us to inquire what happened? Will Visa require the 700$ back?

Ok many thanks for your advice.

We did send funds to this bank, but our bank told us that the payment bounced because the beneficiary address is on hold... This is what woke me up about the scam !
#272892 by Bryon Williams Wed Oct 28, 2015 4:55 pm
I was reporting the bank account for fraud and wanted to put in the report how much you sent. I could not figure out if you sent it via bank account or Western Union.

Please also report everything here http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifr ... ex-eng.htm also. Include bank accounts and people picking up Western Union.

We were just approached with the exact same scam reported here, and are so glad we found this thread here before going further.

We were contacted by a person called Kristie Ahlers, email [email protected]. She started by emailing us asking for wholesale information and included some bizarre questions about our business hours and if we are open on weekends. We replied with wholesale ordering info. She replied asking to place an order in this exact format (The same as other people in the thread):

We're interested in placing an order for the items listed in Tandem below: We need you to reply back with the total quote plus shipping, we're ready to finalize and want you to know we're located in a very remote part of the city.

Once we sent her a quote she emailed us:

"Hi,
Thanks for your reply back with the total quote of my order,I really appreciate you getting back to me.We have experienced lots of difficulties when it comes to receiving shipment to our address here in The Netherlands, We're located in a very remote area of the city, which cause us a lot of hindrance in receiving shipment in the past. I want you to contact my shipper which i use every time i purchase order worldwide via the below e-mail address about my order [email protected] with the weight and dimension inclusive the value for insurance quoting my customer ID #AA357429522A. They will deliver the shipment to me door to door,their cost will include the custom clearance and handling cost with my order. They will come pick my order up at your location when the shipment is ready.

Once I have these details, I will get back to you with my credit card details immediately for payment.
God Bless you (Amen),
Kind Regards,
Kristie"

Once we got this email, we searched "[email protected]" and foudn this thread.

Thanks for helping us avoid losing money. We also reported it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, though as no crime was successfully committed, they may not look into it all that much.

Yeah, they tried that on my today. I'm going to send an invoice for 10 times the value of what they asked to see if they bite.
#293237 by Bryon Williams Thu Apr 28, 2016 2:30 pm
Welcome to Scamwarners,

The scammer will bite.

It is not advisable that you play with scammers/criminals using your real details (Address, name, phone number and location).

The scammer is using a free email address and fake name.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.

Thanks, Bryon. I know they'll try.


I just want to play around first.
They won't get anything but a hard time out of me.
#293251 by Bryon Williams Thu Apr 28, 2016 4:03 pm
You are assuming that your coworkers, employees or family members want to play with criminal.

The scammer could also get mad shut down your website, flood your inbox with spam or even better use your company name in the next scam. These people are criminals and have no morals.

Please stop all contact with the scammer.

Hi again John

I am currently out of stock on that item, but I should have a replacement coming in early next week.

The cost for that kit is NZD$775 each.

That would total 3 × NZD$775 = NZD$2325

Cheers, Jarryd

The total cost of my order is quite correct and OK by me and I'm ready to pay the bills . I shall inform my freight forwarder who will be coming to pick up the order to hold on and come immediately you inform me that the items are ready for pick up then i can give you a call on that day to get the items packed for pick up and they will call you on their arrival at your address.Also I want you to help me Charge additional $1275.10 from my credit card for the freight forwarder who will be coming to pick up my ordered items from you.

The $1275.10 that will be sent to the freight forwarder is for the shipping of my order and other items i ordered from different part of the country which is to be picked up by them and should be deducted from my credit card.Also, I'm compensating you with the sum of $120.00 for the transfer fee and for your efforts. Please note that i should have given the shipping agency my credit card for them to deduct the freight charges but she told me that she doesn't have the facilities to charge or debit credit card , so that's why i bring
my vote of confidence in you and i want you to assist me in this measure, so i want you to transfer the funds to her after you have make the charges and then you can now make the transfer to the agent via Money Gram.i will have love to do this my self but there are no Money Gram here around me cos i am out of town to monitor my estate construction at a remote village,So the charges you'll make on my credit card will be:

Order Fee: $2325
Agent fee with shipping fare:$1275.10
Transfer Fee plus Your Compensation: $120.00
Total:$3720.1


Note that my credit card will be charged for the amounts above.Please do get back to me if you are in the office right now so that i can forward my credit card details to you, then you can charge the funds .You can email our shipper at [email protected] for more information about the shipping arrangements .

Golly John!

You got that quote from your "Freight Forwarder"/"Shipping Agent"/"Private Picker" very fast! It only took you 2 minutes to make your last reply!

Information I will require from you:-
    Your address/country of residence. I cannot knowingly supply an individual who resides in a country where it is illegal to distill alcoholic beverages for personal use. The address you supplied earlier is for a shop selling cosmetics and such. Do you live above that shop?
    The address and phone number of your "Shipping Agent", Pickerton Trucking Inc. I can find no details online for this company. For me to protect myself and my business I need to know that I am dealing with reputable businesses. I'm sure you understand.

Also, what experience do you have with distilling, so far? With the purchase of three stills, I imagine you are intending to make this more than just a hobby. I'm concerned you may run into problems with your local authorities if you intend to supply alcoholic beverages for profit. What are the local bylaws in your area? I asked in an earlier email if you were based in Canada.

Cheers, Jarryd


Have yet to hear back from him since that.. I guess I don't expect to. But, if I do, I will string him along as long as humanly possible. I figure, the more time spent with me, the less time spent trying to scam someone else.
#299479 by vonpaso xlura Thu Jun 30, 2016 7:11 am
If you are using your real-life name, company name, phone, or email address, DO NOT play with him. Drop him as soon as you realize he's a scammer, and don't tell him why.
