    Hey Guys,

    Just wanted to share this with the group….Incase anyone else gets this and thinks its legit.

    I smelt a rat straight away.

    So I got this email –

    Hello am MARK i send this enquiry in regards to print some banners with the following specs below

    BANNER TYPE: Vinyl Banners
    SIZES :3’FT x 6’FT
    SIDE: SINGLE SIDED
    Brass Grommets
    PRINTING ON IT: ( LET SAVE THE CHILDREN)
    QUANTITY: 50PCS AND 100PCS
    QUOTE ON 50 PCS AND 100PCS
    DO YOU TAKE CREDIT CARD PAYMENT

    To which I replied with a quote – We have a policy of replying to all emails.

    I then got the following reply –

    am ok with the total price 100pcs
    And we will recommend a freight company for the pick up of the unit to my new
    company. Now i want to you to contact them with the total weight of the unit and find out the freight quote for me . The delivery address is below :

    MARK AND CO
    17 St Dennis Road,
    Claremont, Cape Town,
    Western Cape, South Africa

    BILLING ADDRESS
    mark and co
    1 Sedgemoor

    Freight company email address :pacificlineshippers@hotmail.com

    And including the pick-up location and they will surely get you a freight quote
    .As soon as you her from them let me know so that i can proceed with
    transaction…………NB: cc me a copy of what you gonna send to the freight company

    This chap must really think I fell out of tree and bumped my head….

    Thanks for sharing that Phil – The more links we have on this topic hopefully the harder it gets for these twats to hurt our community.

    Always nice to keep these things fresh and current right in front of board members…

    Some of us old lot can smell these rats a mile off its more so for the new guys or someone not long in the game who could be a victim.
