want to Purchase from your company/Use a Freight Forwarder

[AlanJones]

Received the following email on Saturday April 9th. Scammer immediately started calling on Monday April 11th to try to get us to "Arrange Shipment" after he was advised that we do accept credit cards and do work with freight forwarders. I "googled" the business address he provided and the name of the (fictitious) freight forwarder knowing that freight forwarders/transport company's do not require "pre-payment." I assume the credit card information he would have provided would be stolen.... after we "wire transferred" money to the "freight forwarder" the actual credit card holder would eventually realize the charge and dispute it. The address the scammer provided came back on this website as one previously used for scams. Found similar scams listed on this website. Here's the email detailing what the scammer wanted us to do:
