Is it a legit?

This guy had got to us in the UK with the very same scam. He found us on email and tried the same transaction. It was treat with suspicion from the first mail, thanks to this web site it has confirmed things, we did a Google search on the RAF Shipping, this found yourselves, thanks to you all for making this public.  I sent the Rev Martin the Bible quote from 'Pulp Fiction' although this may not stop him it seemed to suit being sent to the slimeball and hopefully one day what goes round comes round !!
Many thanks again for sharing this.

Ray Martin AKA Rev Martin is a total scam and fraud!

He is not interested in receiving any merchandise. His scam is to appear to order merchandise shipping overseas requesting you to contact his preferred freight carrier, RAF Shipping LTD, for a quote. RAF (actually Ray Martin) sends a quote under another email address that you believe is coming from RAF. Because it?s an overseas shipment the cost is in the $3,500 plus range?.still with me?

The very professional looking freight quote, RAF?s shipping terms is the freight charges must be paid upfront via wire transfer prior to the shipment being made. RAF (actually Ray Martin) will email you the wire transfer banking numbers if you agree which is probably an offshore account in his name.

Martin then confirms the order and provides you with a charge card numbers but request that both the merchandise and freight be charged be applied to his card. Actually the card turned out to be stolen. Then if you do wire transfer the funds for the freight and he is gone.

Visa informed me the cards real owner is from Canada and newly issued and had not been used. Visa immediately canceled the card.

This man is truly a bottom feeder and the planet would be a better place without him!
