Erik, thank you for posting this. Mr. Morgan, or whatever his name is, contacted me as well, WITH credit card information. Offer didn't feel right from the start.....
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
I got the same email today!
ReplyDeleteSo how does the scam work?
ReplyDeleteNot sure how the scam works, but this person claims to want your product, gives you credit card information, but wants you use a specific courier, and YOU pay for the shipping which will be reimbursed to you at some point.
ReplyDeleteI got the same type of e-mail from Anthony Morgan, using the same address of 186 W Market St in Newark, NJ. 07103. After extensive research I believe it is a scam. The address is a shopping strip mall with a few oriental businesses. He wanted me to pay the freight/courier fees and add it to the total he would pay to me on his credit card. My guess is that the card he has is probably stolen. He was offering full retail prices for my product and said I should add any service fees incurred too.
ReplyDeleteI finally told him I would not pre-pay the shipping and he could pay them directly since he had told me he uses them all the time. I asked what kind of business he has and he never replied to that. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!! Ask a lot of questions. If it's too good to be true, it is most likely a scam.
Most likely they would have you pay the pre-paid freight costs with your credit card, then they have your card information and BOOM, you are done!
ReplyDeleteMy plan was to take his card info and process his payment, then release the product for his carrier to pick up. But once I said I would not pre-pay the freight costs, he vanished.
The story he gave to me was that he would place the order to be shipped to an address in Auckland New Zealand for an event they had coming up.
ReplyDeleteWe just got the same email and address, etc. Thanks for posting these messages, Now I know it is a scam, way too good to be true.
ReplyDeleteWe also go this email and went along with it for a bit, but discovered some strange things when we contacted the shipping agent and they asked for wire transfers. Further research revealed a scam and led us to this site.

ReplyDeleteReceived the same email. I asked if we could call him and he said he is hearing impaired so it needs to be done over email.
ReplyDeleteI like how 3+ years later the guy is still using the same email to try to scam people.
ReplyDeleteYes totally a email scam!!
Same with me...I told friend it seemed fishy, when there is smoke there is fire...and this deal is burning!
ReplyDeleteAnd he is still at it today!!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for this email thread! It saved me so much time and energy!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like this guy is still playing his game. This time he emailed that he would have the items picked up. Thanks for all of the postings.
