Mr Kevin Larry

We had the same today, 17th Oct 2013 for medical equipment, smelled like a scam so told him 'Luckily we had a rep in South Africa and he would pay the Rev. Ken Dickson a visit to make sure he was buying the correct equipment' ...... Funny enough not heard back from him ..............

Hi,
Appreciated seeing your post.  I received the same email, if I may ask you what happened that confirmed it is a scam?

Thank you again.

This scam continues. A "mrjameslarry800@hotmail.com" email us to order shower bases - shipped on our dime through his shipping company.

This guy needs to be arrested.

Just had the same, a large order but wanting to use their own shipping company, so glad we google their details and came across this blog. Email was as follows sent by mrjameslarry800@hotmail.com:

thank you for your reply and getting back to me here,well am ok with that and am shipping this to my new firm in South African and i want you to contact this freight company now and get back to me with the freight cost so below is the freight company contact details as well as the delivery details for you to contact now and get back to me.

Shipping Company Contact Details.
Name Of The Company: Continental Shipping Limited
Person To  Contact : Mr. Jerry Mensah
Contact Email Address: continentalshippingl@cooltoad.com

           Delivery Address
Rev. Ken Dickson
23 Babson St.
Cape Town, S. Africa
00277

He is still at it, with us it was for fire extinguishers. They used the following email addresses:

jamesmartine441@gmail.com
&
jamessizemore441@gmail.com

there sure are some nice people in the world.

jamessizemore441@gmail.com contacted us today by email to ask if we could supply water filters. Looks like the answer is no.

Same thing here. Asked for a huge amount of air filters after back and forth emails for price quotes for different quantities. It's not usual, no I suspected a scam in the works, googled "jamessizemore441" and here I am.
Thanks guys/gals! Now I can stop wasting my time.

Got an e-mail from James Sizemore (jamessizemore441@gmail.com) requesting price quote on 400
acrylic trophies.  Sent pricing.  Then he wants shipping to Kathmandu, Nepal.  This made me suspicious and went to goggle to check out his email address.  Thanks for the heads up.  Bogus Order

He just sent me an email requesting urn costs??  Not going to respond.

I received an email from him today to orde print work and banners, its a scam.

His email is jamessizemore441@gmail.com

he wants to purchase commercial food equipment & arrange for Global shipping lines to despatch tyhe goods to Port au prince & will pay with credit card. Thats not going to happen with what
your telling me about this guy. Thanks for the info. Sounded good at the time.
Obviousdly a scam.

BEWARE!  He still doing it to date by the look of it because I'm sure this is the same guy who wanted to order 40 banners from us and wanted us to call globalshippinglines@cooltoad.com to charge his credit card.  He's emailed us under the name "James Sizrmore".  The email address that he gave us is jamessizemore441@gmail.com

The company he's declared to us is Ridges Orphanage Home.  He wanted the banners to be shipped to his stables in Nepal.  The exact address he gave was:

Graham & Co.,

13, Tahachal

,Kathmandu, Nepal 00977

If you get a phone call  from this number, it is a scam. A guy will ask to buy your products and have it shipped out of the country. He will tell you that he uses Meridian Freight to ship. When the freight company calls you, they block their number and if you reply to their emails, it is "undeliverable". The guy that emailed me and asked me to ship wine cabinets to Ghana was named "Mike Wilson". We conversed via email for several days then finally he called me. He had a strong accent. Maybe Middle Eastern. When his freight contact called me, I could barely understand him, as well. He said his name was Von Jeffery. He blocked his number once but the next time he called, he didnt. He called from 324-373-9117. Which is an area code out of Belguim. Watch out for these scammers!

Phone call.

We also got an email order for 3 wine cabinets from Mike Wilson and he wanted us to ship them to
Geraldine Colwell at 232 Linkin Park, Accra Ghana 00233 through Von Jeffery at Meridian Freight.  I'm so mad I wasted so much time on design and emails.  But thanks to everyone's postings I'm only out some time.  Wilson just emailed me back to say that if I would not ship the cabinets he was too busy to do business with us.  Oh Well!!!

Mr. WIlsons contact from Meridian Freight, Von Jeffery, called once and blocked his number. We were cut off and he block it. He called from 324-373-9117.

Had the same happen here. Mike Wilson called and wanted Wine Cabinets shipped to Accra, Ghana via Meridian Freights. I realized it was a scam when I could not get a return reply from the freight company. The phone number they used was 574-216-8907. The number is out of Culver Indianna.
Thanks to everyone that has posted on these jerks!

Received a order from 574 216 8907
Wated to give me a creit card for 1/2 of the amount then have me wire money to the shipping company
I will now cancel this entire order
Thanks for the heads up

We are a small tea company and have just experienced exactly the same things as above.  A man called Mike Wilson wanted over £3000 worth of tea accesories and shipping to Ghana.  See part of his email below.....

Below is the shipping company's contact details
Name:Meridian Shipping Company
Emails: meridianfreights00@cooltoad.com
           meridianfreights00@yahoo.com
Contact person: Von Jeffery
Delivery Address
Geraldine Colwell
232 linkin park,
Accra,Ghana,
00233.

They are familiar with the port of delivery so kindly contact them.
Let me know as soon as you hear back from them so that i can proceed to make payment with my credit .
I look forward to your co-operation to establish along term business relationship with you.



Don't fall for it, its a massive scam.

Got an email from Joshua Carter 1414jman@gmail.com wanting over 10,000 balloons sent to Zimbabwe within 2 weeks.  Raised my hackles on a number of levels, but I've had odd requests before.  When he called and said he wanted me to set up the shipping through my company, I called the State Department and the Commerce Department.  Am reporting him to the Consumer Fraud Department and have forwarded his e-mail to a company in Wales which works on shutting down "Nigerian Mail Fraud" groups and has been successful on many levels.  I looked up the above phone # and read the various reports here.  Thanks.  I won't be falling for it.

Here is the shipping information he sent me:
Thanks for the feedback,I do really appreciate it a lot,I have decided to go ahead with the order but at the moment,I will be shipping this order to a friend in Zimbabwe, The address is below and I have a shipping company in mind which I will be willing to use and their name is Global Shipping Company Ltd  .Their email address to contact them on my behalf is( info_globalshippers@cooltoad.com or globalresponds@gmail.com) I want you to send them an email with the quantity and dimensions  of the order not necessarily the weight because they can use the quantities to determine the estimated weight.Please make sure you attach the pick up and the delivery address to the email you you will be forwarding to the freight company.As soon as you get the quote kindly let me know by emailing me with the grand total which should be the price of the product and the shipping price so that I can make the full payment with my credit card.

Please I want you to send an email to the shippers with the details below.

1. Your company location address.
2. My friends delivery address.
3. The Quantities and dimensions  of the products.

Delivery Address:
Mr Mike Huddlestone
Urban St, Mt Pleasant,
City:  Harare,
Country: Zimbabwe

I will be looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards
Mr.Josh Carter

Had the same thing with Mike and Von!! Serious waste of time.

Thanks for the heads up.

In addition to that information, they used two e-mails:

Mike Wilson: w.mike114@gmail.com

Kimberly Jones: kimberly.jones56@yahoo.com

Freight company is Merdian Shipping Company
Contact was Von Jeffrey
E-mail were: meridianfreights@cooltoad.com & meridianfreights@yahoo.com

Hope that helps anyone out there being bothered by these dummies.

Thanks Cory,
Also got a call from this guy by the name of Mike Wilson. Wasted a ton of my time as I thought he was a real client. Kept calling and would not give me his actual number. Sounded fishy, gave his name, then a credit card under a different name, shipped to someone in Africa with yet another different name. Also wanted freight shipped to La-Accra, Ghana, W. Africa, 00233. Same story, weird freight company under the title "Meridian Shipping Company." These guys are idiots. Keep up the great work everyone.

Just got a call for a large order of balloons to be picked up by a freight company.
I thought something was strange as he e-mailed first and then called immediately to place the order.
I turned him down......then i google. Thanks you all for your imput and comments.
Dan

AND. .I  googled the address he gave, the address (or neighbors address) that came up was a local police station. I called them and gave them the run-down, not sure if they will actually do anything with only his phone # to go on, I'll repost if anything come of it.

Meanwhile, if anyone else wants to add to my credibility and call the police there, their phone # is: 812 339 4477

This guy... same phone #, name under Joshua Carter.
Wanted two expensive TVs and an expensive amplifier shipped to his friend in Zimbabwe, after a couple questionable emails and him calling me once I had doubts.
I read the above posts and just called him (574-216-8907). I basically told him to go F_ck himself and stop wasting everybody's time, he confessed to it being a scam and that was that. I may also be contacting authorities and probably waste more of my time trying to track him down. Here's all the info he provided me with, I only know the email and phone # work, not sure on the addresses:
1) 200 E 3rd St.
Bloomington IN 47401
2)La-Accra, Ghana, W. Africa, 00233

We have received an email wanting Fly Rods and have them shipped to Zimbabwe.
Below is some info he sent.

"Hello,
