A recurring segment
>> Tuesday
After all, why take the effort to write about sports when you can just copy and paste a hilarious, presumably algorithm-generated spam email? This one landed in our inbox yesterday:
HI WITH MY REGARDS TO YOU AND THE COMPANY WELL MY NAME IS SCOTT WILLSON AND I WILL LIKE TO ORDER FIGHTING CHAIRS AND I WILL LIKE TO KNOW THE PRICE FOR EACH FIGHTING CHAIRS THAT YOU HAVE AND THE FORM OF PAYMENT THAT YOU ACCEPT AND GET BACK TO ME THANK YOU

Call me crazy, but I'm not sure I trust a business that keeps their phone in Nevada and their fax machine in Chicago. What do you say we bombard Mr. Will-son with so much spam that it crashes the server over at Drumsco Lmt ("laminated"? "lamented"?), Inc.?

Hahaha, jeez. Thats like the emails I get from perspective employers wanting me to move to Moscow to work for them
"Tool free"? Is there such a thing?
Wait....we're not selling fighting chairs?
No dice, Willson, those fighting chairs are mine.
I'll tell you one thing that's not "tool free"--Danny's aparment. Ohhhhh!!!!
And yeah, Pat... a couple more months in the unemployment line, and you just might consider one of those Ruskies' offers. DOUBLE OHHHHHHH!!!!!!
In the meantime, I am a total success and perpetually awesome.
As YCS's resident vagabond, I can tell you that those offers to be a middle man in a likely European drug or terrorist ring occasionally sound tempting.
Here is the e-mail i get today:

Little Sketch?
I'm ashamed to admit it but i sell materials internationally and fell for scott willson's tricks. This guy is a scam artist using stolen credit cards and a bogus shipping company as a third party to 'ship' goods to Ghana, Africa. It's too late for me now so all i can do is laugh at it along with all of you. I wish i had the gut feeling some of you did. I feel pretty vulnerable.
So glad I ran across this discussion about Wilson. Almost
responded to a very similar email requesting pricing on dock lift systems. I have a boatworks business. Thanks a million !
BEWARE:
I received a relay call (operator tells you what the deaf are typing or TTY) the other day by this so called Scott Willson. turns out he wants us to print 80,000 copies of a flyer that's for Libera. When I emailed him back stating we couldn't do it, guess what? he called! Hmmmm all of a sudden he can HEAR and speaks with foreign tongue. He asked why we wouldn't print, and I stated we don't do that large quantity and don't do glossy which we don't do either. Then I asked why he used RELAY. Ohhhhhhhhh now he has to go, he had another phone call. This is a SCAM.
I'm reporting this to all government officials!
Does anyone know where to report these scams too? I received one today, and our company has received another like it in the past. Fortunately, a vendor we work with had alerted us to this scam prior.
First email:
Dear Customer
My name is Adams Hanson and Can you please quote me on printing 80,000 copies of Flyers with the following specs.
1. measures 8.5' x 11'
2. 80# Gloss Text

God Bless You

So I search today and found these comments. I've reported this guy along with 8 credit card numbers he gave me--which by the way he could not give me correct address or names that went with the accounts.
The only way I knew to report him is finding out the numbers he gave me were Citibank master card numbers.
I also forwarded the names and addresses of reverse email, dns, and telephone.
He's now using call wave and relay calling to contact potential marks. BEWARE!
Also he went by the name Jones Clerke last week.
IF E does give you credit card numbers please just take the time to find out which bank the card is through. Contact them as a merchant and ask for the fraud dept.

First, we need to deciede how we'll proof. Since you don't have a working file. And I don't have specific colors to match it would probably be best to send a proof through mail. Although you can opt to proof through email with a pdf or opt not to proof at all. Please remember when proofing through mail there will be an additional charge for shipping proof. I must inform you that th jpeg attached to previous mail is of lower qaulity but is functional. I've attached a correct file with apprpriate size and border you've requested. After proofing we will follow through with payment.
Second, you should contact Eskort Shippers and give them our address:
1348 Milligan Hwy.
Johnson City, TN 37601
Unless otherwise specified this will be wrapped on a skid and will weigh appox. 1500 lbs. Which is not quite a full skid. When the time comes you will also need to email or fax "Bill of Landin." Our fax numbers is: 423.9284401
Third, I will also need an address where an invoive can be mailed and a telephone number where you can be reached.
Fourth, I'm assuming you will not need to pay tax since this is a ministry flyer. I will need your tax exempt form to avoid additional charges.
Overview of what I need from you:
1. How you will proof.
2. An address and phone number where you can be reached.
3. Tax ID
4. Bill of Landin
If you have any question please contact me.
I want to say thanak you for using Young's Printing and we're happy to have you as a new customer. Could you tell us have you found us?

We had a hunch and googled both Trans International Shipping, and the African address they gave us this blog was the only thing that came up, haha.
Just thought I would post my experience as well.
Lenny Smith and Roxanne Clark are a complete scam. They claim they are from Gibraltor House Cape Town South Africa.
They wanted to buy machinery from us. Luckily we caught them. Complete Scam.
We also received an email from this Lenny Smith and I would like to report his 6 mastercard numbers he provided. How did you report this info!
this is a scam.

I just got another one of these requests for a quote emails through our printing company's website.
This is the 2nd time in the last 6 months.
They don't give me any specs up front, but ask if we can print flyers.
I respond in a professional manner thinking it is legit. Then they reply with quantities of 80m - 90m and are adamant to know what credit cards we take.
The first one I got 6 months ago asked for 500,000 labels. I went to the trouble of getting a quote from Americal, and after all that I saw he wanted them shipped to Ghana.
Really? I thought to myself. A freaking scam for sure!
What a waste of time!
Dale
I should give him a bogus quote in return.
1 million dollars! LOL!
i think you are all fools to be scamed
I received the following email when I sent a complete quote to him via email. I had a bad feeling about it and found this blog. Same scam, different name.
Attached is the file for printing. It's a pdf file and has about 300dpi. I will like you to contact MERCHANT LINE FREIGHT SERVICES (merchantlinefreight@rock.com) with your store location, the total weight on the flyers , the delivery address below and request for a freight quote. Please let me know how much it will cost me in totality to have these flyers printed and shipped
The address is on the flyer, however it has been given below.

Just got this email today. It sounded a bit odd, so I searched for the address on the flyer he sent me and found this blog. What a jerk!!

You re, I guess , probably very interested to know how one can collect a huge starting capital .
There is no need to invest much at first. You may start earning with as small sum of money as 20-100 dollars.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I feel good, I begin to get real money.
It's all about how to select a proper companion who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the income with me.
You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
