Their IBAN is the same as used by Air - C.C.C. in your message. Is this normal?

An IBAN is an account number, so it would be impossible for 2 unrelated companies to have the same IBAN as that would mean that they are sharing a bank account.

It is a scam, the item that you are buying does not exist, the scammer just wants to steal your money. Never pay for items using bank transfer, Western Union/Moneygram or using top up cards.

Can you also post the details of the "seller" of the item.

Got this email after chatting over email to a friendly dude named Fabian Norton <[email protected]> trying to convince me to use this safe courier to send me a telescope. I have changed my name, address and the tracking number for privacy reasons, but the tracking number lead to a mostly credible tracking page. The major clue was the lame grammar ("Buyer can transfer the money from a nearest Bank") and formatting (red bold text sprinkled everywhere) as well as no Google results for "British Logistics Group".

Service delivery and Buyer Protection



Team British Logistics Group,

The seller is Fabian Norton, <[email protected]>. His address is different:

COWLEY ROAD 33
City: LIVERPOOL
Postal Code: L4 5SY
Country: ENGLAND (UNITED KINGDOM)

He sent me a copy of his identity card.

Is this a country identity card robe ?

The UK did issue a few that people could buy when the idea of having UK ID cards was first mooted but, apart from that, there are no UK ID cards to my knowledge.

If it the ID card is of another country it would be interesting to know which country it is because it may be a fake or perhaps something just botched up on his pc. People never, and should never, send copies of their ID by email to anyone else unless it is to an official government body or very well respected entity.

It's a copy of a passport issued by "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Nothern Ireland". Perhaps stolen?

Scammers frequently ask victims to identify themselves by sending a scan of their passport, so it's probably come from another victim. They feel it makes themselves more credible but no one should ever send copies of their passport to strangers.

I'm pretty sure it won't be the identity of the person you have been in contact with.

The post is a copy and paste of what is on their contact page and 2001 is their claimed date for the registration of the company, not the date they registered their domain.

Well, I called Barclays yesterday to tell them about the fake IBAN and, after about 45 minutes of waiting, the last person I spoke to said they would block the account and prevent any money being removed from it. I didn't quite believe him, but a couple of hours later I got this email:

Team British Logistics Group,

Mod Note: This post appears to be a fake testimonial. Scammers will use these kinds of fake posts, pretending that they or friends, are satisfied customers, in order to convince potential victims their scam is real. Occasionally a post like this will be made by a confused victim or someone who mixes up company names as well. This is indeed a scam.


Dear Friends,

I`ve worked with them and works secure. (no he hasn't -- Michelle Banks)
