We received a large order for merchandise to be sent overseas "door to door, air freight". The customer specifically asked us to use Heavymovers Shipping. It seemed odd that Heavy Movers wanted to be paid via Moneygram to a specific person instead of to the company. A search on their websites (their appears to be 2 of them) listed no physical address or phone numbers, just email to request a quote. Further checking revealed that the credit card used for the purchase had been stolen. We cancelled the sale and never shipped the order. The scammers would have kept the very expensive shipping charges if we had paid them. That's why they wanted payment via MoneyGram - no refund after the payee has collected. What will they think of next?
