I would like to report a scam being conducted by a company called Electroblair from Nigeria over the internet. This company advertises ipods and cell phones for low prices, the only catch is you will never receive a delivery.
Here is how the scam works:
You first contact the company via an email [email protected] and then you start dealing with a person by the name of Aso Mingle. His instructions to order are as follows:
We got your e mail, to start with, all you have to do is send us your full name and full shipping address and also the item (s) you wish to buy, then we will start to label and package for shipping. Then we will send you the western union information to make payment, immediately you make payment, we will ship out and send you the shipping details, such as the FEDEX AIRWAY BILL RECEIPT OF SHIPMENT and a VALID BTRACKING NUMBER TO TRACK AND KNOW THE STATUS of your package untill delivery is made, delivery is within just 48hrs. So send us your full name and full shipping address now. Reply back
I also asked about why the company was labelled as a spammer on some forums and that they were not legit here is his response
First i have to explain to you that there is a difference between a spammer and a scammer, we pay advertisment compines to help us advertise our items that we have for sale, they sometimes put these advertisements on forums where adverts are not allowed the post are flagged as spam and that is the reason why you see that our adverts are banned on some forums.
I am a family man with 2 kids and i swear to you on the life of my 2 kids that you will get whatever you order from ELECTROBLAIR, with 0 assurance. Reply Back
Well after sending 260.00 dollars plus the 23.00 western union fee, I received a notice saying they received the money and are shipping the goods to me. The next email they send says
Sorry for the response, the package has been shipped out earlier today, i have just received the
Fedex receipt of shipment and i noticed that there was a mistake in your shipment, the store keeper mistakenly package 9 units of apple iphone 3g 8gb instead of 1 unit, he says he thought he heard nine instead of one. The package has been shipped out to your address already
First it is not possible to return the package untill it gets to your address first we shipped it as a free domicle to avoid custom problems just we promised, so my boss has made a decision that we should give you 2 units of the iphones free to cover for our mistake that you will have to pay for the rest. So we have an outstanding 6 units of apple iphone 3g 8gb. Reply Back
When I refused to send any more money they said that the package would most likely be lost in transit back to Nigeria and that I will lose my money and they would lose the package. The also tried to wittle down the amount from 2000.00 to 300.00but I still refused to send any money.
