Odd E-mail

[Moose]

As anybody else received this:

"Dear sirs,

I've just visited your website and I would like to buy directly from your
company , here's my request order :

- Garmin GPS 12XL Qty : 25 Pcs
- Garmin GPSMAP 176C Qty : 10 Pcs

Please let me know if your company policy could be able to ship
oversea ( Singapore ) and accept credit cards for the payment methods.
Look forward to receiving your reply immediately.
Yours faithfully"

A bit odd really as I don't even have a website. Anybody know where I can buy 35 Garmin's to lob over to Singapore at £300 a time/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

sounds like another scam to me - especially if you don't have a website.

Yes but they don't know that. It's got your email address on it!

We got one similar at work. The parts they asked for were roughly related to our line of business, but it looked all so fishy that we just deleted unacknowledged.

Send an email offering a brilliant deal on pre-payment by bank transfer, guaranteed never to hear from them again.

We don't take credit cards from anywhere except EU, Norway, Switzerland type countries, USA, Canada, Japan, Oz and NZ. Apart from that it's a good guess it's a fraud.

I got one offering to buy my boat today! I sold it 2 years ago and the add came out then, it looked like a well dodgey money laundering scam to me

Seems a bit odd when you consider Garmin stuff is half the price in SG that it is here. . . . . . . /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

[BrendanS]

You are intelligent enough to know it's a scam, as are 75% of the forumites here. Why post something so transparent? Leave the other 25% to suffer, as they won't learn anyway

Is that not a list of the electronics on your boat?

Always good to have a back up in case one fails.
