Just wanted to alert people about a scam that we received via email. This person wanted us to send via Western Union a shipping fee to their shipping agent in Suffern, New York. That's what alerted us to this being a scam. They even went so far as to send us credit card info within the body of the email. I deleted any CC info before posting this. Their story changed along the way. First they wanted us to charge the shipping fee to their credit card and then in the final email they wanted the shipping fee sent via money gram or Western Union.
Don't give in to wanting a large sale for you will lose merchandise and cash in the long run.

Please note that i should have given the shipping agency my credit card for him to deduct the freight charges but he told me that he doesn't have the facilities to charge or debit credit card, so that's why i bring my vote of confidence in you and i want you to assist me in this measure, so i want you to transfer the funds to him after you have make the charges and the money charged from my credit card is in your account,then you can now make the transfer to the agent via western union or money gram.
