Another email scam

[carrie_adams19]

Anyone else getting these? We got an email from a '[email protected]' asking if we sell massage cream or oil, complete with some stilted language use and misspellings that make me think of a babblefish translation. The owner had already replied to it when I came in, basically that we carried this brand of oils and creams, and also a selection of essential oils.

We get back a reply 'Please to order 40 bottles of -, 25 of - and 60 bottles of Brand X essential oils.' I will pay and please send me amount'. She replied that we did not carry those quantities. He asked "Why? I will pay you. Why will you not send me 40 bottles of -, 25 of -" etc etc. At that point I came into work and read the exchange and said "It's a scam. They'll probably send you a check for more than the cost of the goods, even assuming we carried that much, and will want you to send them the balance. And the check they send is worthless." So she just stopped responding. We've had a couple more since then, which we've ignored. Anyone else?

Give them credit, they ARE good!
