Victim Location 46803
Type of a scam Credit Cards
Scammer requested a quote from our company on blank roll labels. Quote was approved and they wanted to pay with credit card.
They asked us to get freight cost from their preferred vendor, McDan Shipping Co. Ltd. based in Ghana, to ship labels from our location to:
Falcon Co.
25 Crucible Road Heriotdale
Jeppestown Johannesburg
Gauteng 2043 South Africa
We did, and they said they would pay up front to cover shipping and material costs. First 2 credit cards were declined. Shipping company confirmed that payment would be made to them via wire transfer. Payment was accepted from credit card on 4/17, when we spoke to our partner company about possible fraud. They had a similar scenario months ago. Different company & address, but same phone number and freight company were used. For our partner, once they told the scammer they did not accept credit cards, the scammer stopped working with them.
