$492.52 Charged to my credit card online to a wine company.  The wine company spotted it as fraud.  The phone # given was 646-568-6227 with email address as kellamac2#yahoo.com with the shipping address as 2537 West Coyle #1, Chicago, IL 60645.  There is a second charge that is pending with my bank.  Remains to be seen is this charge posts or not.  Card inactivated.  This was a VISA Debit Card.  

my daughter got scammed by someone saying they would pay her money to have a car wrap on her car and she got cheated out of 3000.00 and we reported to the FBI and they are not doing anything about it even though we did all the research to help them with the case even agreed to play along with the scam farther so they can trap the crook. i dont know what the FBI is for if not to stop these things

This frauster tries once a week on our site. Fbi does nothing I have filed so many reports.. they also use ups po boxes. UsUally from Nigeria.

The 732-222-7077, is my company and this number is not a cell phone.  We have receive more than 20 orders for equipment were the bill to and ship to address matched. AVS Y.   We have stopped most of these orders from going out and we are now working with the government ?Cannot say more? on their investigation.  We did some research and got a hold of the people at the billing/ship to address.  This might not be the case for everyone, but out of the people we spoke with, they answered on ad on Craig?s list applying for a job.  They agreed to have boxes shipped to their home and then they would have them re-shipped overseas.  From the information we have, it sounds like, the people who responded to the ad were sent a American Express credit card.  We speculate it is a corporate card, because it gives the appears that it is a business card.  The people receive these cards in the mail and activated the cards and proceed to place orders online shipping the product to their homes.  This is why you get a AVS response of a Y, also the IP address matches the ship to/bill to address.   Then the person who receives the goods at their home, helps ship the products else were.   According to the folks we are working with, people are this stupid.  Yes they are activating a credit card in their name, billing to their home address, buying equipment, shipping it out of the country and looking to get paid for doing this.

I believe there are several variations of this scam and what I described does not apply to everyone.   From my point of view the victim is not the person that answered the ad on Craig?s list, they need to be held accountable for their actions.  Making bad decisions does not make one a victim.   The victim is the merchant, because American Express is charging back these cards despite the AVS response of Y.  We are out of the product and out of the money.  This impacts not only the company but everyone that works here.

Just an update to the above post, regarding the 732-222-7077#. This number is not the fraudulent buyers number, it is the company that the order was placed through, my mistake. However what will be of interest is as to the confusion of billing/shipping address matching..what he does is has the order shipped to the CC victims address (which matches the billing address associated with the c.card) via UPS with a tracking number. He then knows when the delivery should be made, and simultaneously sends out a pickup order from FedEx. This way the victim (who receives a package they did not order), hands the "mistake" to FedEx and it gets "returned" to the fraudulent buyer. This is how they get their purchase to pass the billing/shipping match for the credit card number given, and how they ultimately receive their stolen purchases.

Many online orders were placed with our business credit card. On one of the orders I was able to find out the phone numbers associated with the order, which were this one, 646-568-6227, and also fyi, 732-222-7077c. This cell# traces to West Long Branch, New Jersey address,  Kastor Lane. Info I have so far, hope it helps someone else.

An online order was placed using my Discover card for $853.  The billing and shipping address were the same.  The phone number provided by whoever placed the order was 646-568-6227.

Thanks for the Post, we got it too. AVS was the same, billing and shipping matched, Amex card.

This phone number is associated with a fraudulent online order attempt with our business as well.  Again, the billing and shipping information were correct for the victim. The phone number (646-568-6227) is based in New York, which is not the customers address.  The email address was (koloadsraz@yahoo.com).

We got an online order from this phone number as well.  The weird thing is that the shipping and billing address were the same and passed AVS which usually means it's all good.  I am not sure what the scam is here, but I am glad I found your posts.

This phone # was associated with a fraudulent order attempt with our business. The billing and shipping information was a victim, but the phone number (646-568-6227) and email address (dearimcomas@outlook.com) were the key.
