I’ve been contacted by a woman purporting to be christina ong. she wants to purchase a high value item of jewellery from us and insists on using two credit cards to split the costs over. She even sent me scans of the front and back of each card along with an ID with a photo and her address.however the address is one that comes up quite often when googling scams, its in singapore amd apparently its a forwarding address near the airport. I’ve sent an invoice via google checkout so I’ll see if anything transpires but will provide updates.

We are car dealer, same situation, they has sent to our bank the letter by DHL with bank cheque overprice 450.000€, ofcourse the letter is without name, the DHL can not send post without name of the sender, we involve the DHL of Dubai to provide us urgently name, surname or company about the sender, otherwise we will denouce the DHL as a criminal organization too, the company who asked us the invoice for the car is the following:

HILLTOP GENERAL TRADING LLC
335 SHEIKH ZAYED RD
JUMEIRAH
DUBAI,UAE
DAVID SCOTT
tel 00971 52 9164039

They are waiting the response of the bank cheque from us, they ask when they can come and pick up the car, in a few days we will send them an email and invite here to pick up the car….they will find a surprise.

They are starting to move about a bit, we have had another 2 in the past 12 weeks, both Scandinavia. 1 Norway which when put into Google Streetview was a wooden terraced house with a Volvo parked outside and a wheelie bin next to the front door. And the other Denmark using a company name that did exist but the address given did not and was waste ground. The tell tale give away is a gmail or yahoo email address, no telephone/fax number, and oh yes cleared fund in the bank with shipping 2 weeks later.

Hello everyone, same thing happened to us, in Italy. Offer for 3,136 Euro, received a check by mail for 41,300 Euro. Sender is:
Bilal Mubarak.
Umpire Palace.
Office No.1, Mezzanine Floor,
Al-Kuthban Building
661 Sheikh Zayed Road,
UAE.
salesenquiries@umpire.com
No telephone number provided.

We will destroy the check with much pleasure. My comment is that scammers are becoming more difficult to discover. I mean this request could seem pretty ‘normal’ apart from the fact that there was no telephone number in the mail.

@Shanners The bank will likely charge you when the cheque bounces. Was the cheque presented in person at the bank?
