SCAM ALERT

Mah-Jongg sellers take note! The following post was attempted on September 10, 2005. Be advised that the poster is attempting to perpetrate a scam, for the purpose of getting money from sellers of mah-jongg merchandise.

    Name = BEN
    Email = benjohnsonstoreltd@yahoo.com
    Items for sale =
    GOODDAY SELLER,
    My name is ben johnson the sales Rep. of ben Stores Limited. We
    will love to process an international order from your store which we need it
    shipped directly to our client in west africa (Nigeria). All payments would be made through the Credit Card We will want to know if you do ship internationally. We will
    be awaiting your soonest response. Please reply back so we can list the products needed.
    Kindest Regards.
    ben johnson
    Note: Kindly include your website or the list if the available item in stock.

Note the warning signs of a scam artist:
  1. It's hard to tell exactly what he wants to buy. He seems desirous of buying just any old thing. This vagueness would continue, should you foolishly email him back.
  2. Odd that he says he'll pay by credit card - usually these guys want to pay by check, and the check turns out to be for more than the purchase amount, so they need the difference reimbursed (and that's where you lose money, because his check bounces). So I don't know what this guy's deal is - maybe bait and switch, or maybe he has stolen credit card numbers.
  3. He mentioned Nigeria. Everybody is well familiar with the Nigerian scam, right? You've gotten those emails? The main business activity in Nigeria is, well, scams. You can look it up on the internet. The US gov't has warnings posted about doing business in Nigeria. See http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/brochures/brochures_2113.html.
