Scam artist like those mentioned are pro's and what they will do is use the information that you send them to create checks with the letter-head you have sent, additionally, they will use your stamp or signature that they are requesting to copy on to checks they recreate and armed with your account number, they will began to print checks at will until they have depleted your account and ruined your credit or companies credit.

Thanks for your advice, imagine a $15,500,000.00usd order. Just a litle of common sense, why an african goverment could need 500 replicas.

This is a scam - I emailed the consulate and this is the reply I received:The person attempting to do business with you is a scammer. There is no
Contract Tender Board Committee for the Government of Togo. The e-mail
address he uses is not official. I have Cc'd the Embassy's Commercial
Assistant, Jean Pierre Dessou in this e-mail. Should you have further
questions please contact him. I am glad that you contacted us because your
actions prevented you from suffering financial loss.
Best regards,
Rich Verrier
RSO
Lome, Togo
This e-mail is unclassified in accordance with provisions outlined in E.O.

We have not received government scams, but have received at least 5 e-mails from people claiming to represent overseas buyers for our Hummbug. In all cases they don't want vehicle particulars, dont want to negotiate price. All they want to do is get our information so that they can send us $5,000 to $7,000 more than we are asking. They then expect us to refund the difference (stories vary as to why they must do business this way). The difference is supposedly to pay transportation costs.I sent an e-mail to the kitcar people suggesting they caution advertisers that this is going on. These people are obviously scammers!!!! |
