this scam has been going on with banners and all kinds of stuff for at least a year. The really cool one is when they send an e-mail to some other shop supposedly and it ends up in your inbox. They wit for you to call about the RFQ then they get you!!!

If anyone from a foreign country calls your company wanting signs, banners, shirts, whatever, and you've never heard of them, IT'S A SCAM! Jeez!!! You really never have to wonder about that.

I am sure he will not get fired for it because the cards did go through before he ordered them from S&S. What is strange is that they went through with this guys name and billing address on other peoples cards. S&S will take back for a restocking fee. So shipping shirts to us and now us back to S&S plus a restocking fee total loss $1000.00. Hard lesson learned for sure.

Get this. Now she asked me if I could train all the reps on what to look for. I said just use common sense. Why in the world would someone in Ohio need to order plain shirts from a print company and have them shipped to Guam??? I had told before when anybody places an overseas order and wanting to use their freight company, It is a scam. I see it on these boards all the time. Well I dont want to be in her shoes when she tells the owner what happened.. :banghead:

Unfortunately....Common Sense ain't so common.

Seriously it stinks and I hope you can find a way to turn around some of the losses and put a little hurt on the guys who did this.
