I was contacted by a Mr. Kelly Handsome that wanted to buy my iPhone that I was selling for his son's birthday. After I agreed that he could purchase from me, he kept in contact and asked whether paypal or a money order would be best. I chose a money order thinking nothing of it.
I was contacted by Merchant Express saying that I had a money order pending, from the Handsome's out of their bank account from Bank of America. I needed to get the tracking information for the goods and report it back to Merchant Express to have my money order sent to me. They asked me to send the goods to their son, Cyril U Ifeanyi.
I sent it out, believing that Merchant Express was legit. I received a message from them on 03/27 saying that payment was ready to be sent and have not heard from them in response to my email yesterday 04/05 requesting tracking info on the money order, etc. I decided to do some research into the company, and I thought the company was real. I then saw some similar keywords and it led me to this site.
