So would we. My son keeps getting calls from this guy about a $50,000 loan he's responsible for. My son is 16. When we call back, they get really nasty and use a lot of words that can't be repeated.

Paul did the identical thing to our company beginning this week. Fortunately we recognized it to be a scam before it was processed.  Thanks for the sharing of information!

Paul is still trying his scam.  Got this message last week:

Hello, This mail is to make inquiry on the below question. 1- Do you carry overseas? (though i already know of a freight forwarder that will pick my packages from you,since they ship lesser than any other courier and they are so effective in shipping my goods to me here in Bangkok, Thailand is estimated to be 4-5days) I have used their services in the past and it was splendid. 2- Do you accept credit card for payment(my U.S.A Master and Visa card to be precise)? Kindly let me know your comments on these, before i send the items i am interested in purchasing from you.

Has been contacting me too.  I'm a quilt pattern designer but when I asked for his company name, quilting is not mentioned.  Googled and found all of you.  Thanks.  Wasn't going to reply anyway but nice to be confirmed.

Exactly the same happened to us! We sell roller derby skates in Australia. He said his customers in Thailand had inquired about the products he wanted to order... problem is a couple of them are custom skate builds that we made for our mates here in Brisbane and no one would even know about outside our group of friends or visiting our website (which doesn't have that much traffic from Thailand!)

We emailed him a quote and he sent us the information about the shipping company mentioned above (same addresses and phone numbers etc.)
We suspected a scam but everything seemed relatively legit (in an unbelievable way!) until it mentioned that the merchant pay for shipping with payment to Western Union. The only info regarding this scam we could find was this page by googling the phone number. We even google earthed this s***.

I received an email for goods from paulstewrt11173@juno.com. He asked me to contact his personal shipper Laura Fidon w/ Flash Courier and Cargo Service located in Kansas.

Thank you for posting this.  I almost fell for this too!

this has just happened to our small business... thank God we researched.  I will not go through with this transaction.

Thanks ABC for your posting.  I experienced the same order request from Paul Stewart.  You saved me from getting scammed on a $2500. order.

Thank you DAJ for your information.  It has saved me from getting scammed by Paul Stewart and Randy Regalado Flash Courier and Cargo Service.  Paul placed a order for $2200. worth of skincare products and requested that I ship via freight forwarder Flash Courier and Cargo Service.  My brother did some investigation for me and found your post.

FRAUD FRUAD CALL POLICE

You Guys Saved My Bacon. Sounded Fishy with Paul and Flash Courier.  Googled the phone number of Flash Courier as a last resort and this info came up!  Thank You.

I received an email from Paul Stewart to buy product and have it shippped via Flash Courier & Cargo to his "store" in Sydney, Australia.  He noted he would send the shipping cost & an extra $50 for the Western Union money order to be sent direct to Flash Courier.  The cargo service stated they had an office in Kansas, KS and listed this 312 phone number.  After finding the number came from Chicago and finding NOTHING while googling Flash Courier, I decided to do more checking.  It sounds like Paul and Randy are still working together.  Always beware when asked to send Western Union.  Thank for this site.  It pays to be leary.

This phone number belongs to a scammer. Randy Regalado. Flash Courier and Cargo Service. Randy clams to own "Flash carrier and cargo" a service to deliver goods. Has a partner Paul Stewart whom claims to be in Australia, Paul will buy your products with a credit card and send extra money to Western Union money for shipping to Randy Regalado. Once the money is sent to Randy the credit card will be voided.

WHOEVER HAS THIS NUMBER IS PERSONALLY FROM THE ACCENT I THINK HES NIGERIAN
IS TRYING TO SWINDLE PEOPLE INTO SENDING FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION FOR RENTAL OF APARTMENTS HE DOESNT OWN.

FIRST E MAIL CLAIMS HES A CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY WORKER LIVING IN KANSAS CITY SUBSEQUENTLY IF YOU REALISE ITS A SCAM HE SAYS HE WILL COME TO THE ADDRESS YOU PROVIDED TO SORT YOU OUT !!!!!

I got a couple calls from this number and I would like to know who is behind the annoying calls.
