    New scam to watch out for

    Posted by Gary Jones on April 17, 2009 at 8:48 am

    Just thought I’d give you the heads up on a scam that almost slipped through the nets. Difference with this one was they actually contacted us by phone from a Cardiff number. Only when they insisted we use their shipping choice did we click on….

    "James

    Thanks for the details. We can print this quite easily with a beige background and black text. What are you going to use them for? And how do you intend to fix them?

    Let me know if you want us to go ahead with printing."

I will like to recommend you to TNA INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COMPANY for the shipping of the banners to my church project branch located in Singapore and will like you to email them with the total weight of the banners together with the pick up and delivery address , so that they can get you the shipping cost. below is my branch or delivery address:

    I done a quick search on the boards but didn’t come up with any previous posts regarding this, I probably wasn’t specific enough.

    The quantity was first 200no and then went straight up to 1000no. I’ve never known these types of scams where they make contact other than email. I’m told the guy seemed a nice chap on the phone too.
