Fraud Warning to Electronic Companies.
Don McKenzie
This customer just tried me on for $2,600
Fortunately, I picked him on one, then I googled his address, heaps of
info about him fell out.
example:

Below is the transaction he just tried on me:
I refunded the poor bugger who owns the credit card.
Isn't life fun? :-)
Just hope I have saved someone from getting trapped.
Cheers Don...

Interesting page. I notice the e-mail exchange started with the usual
generic "I am interested" message, which is the dead giveaway. Almost
always worded exactly the same.

I love the ones claiming they want to order something they saw on
from my business website, then ask for the URL.

We just did the rounds of 4Dsystems dealerships, and found these
fraudulent orders placed, and shipped, from a US dealer. One in the last
week.

I won't mention the dealer, but they got taken for around $8K USD across
the two orders.
These are all the same address, as the address that was tried on me, and
the address in the URL of my previous email.
With google, I found the address is a Singapore shipping company:
http://www.allactiontrade.com/directories/directorydetail1_369746.html
This can only mean one of 2 things:
1) He is a thief
2) He is being used unknowingly.
I do have a lot more info, if anyone is approached with a potential
order from this address, just email me for details if you want to follow
up, and wish to take some sort of action.
Me, I have approached my Credit Card merchant account provider many
times in the past, about Credit Card fraud, and it has always fallen on
deaf ears. So I'll simply leave you all with the above warning.
Cheers Don...
