[b]We have received following report from a member for UK based Nigerian Scam, please be aware these crooks could use a contact info local in any countries. [/b]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have susequently discovered that both these companies seem to be
agents for Nigerian companies. In short they've got a little smarter than
just using yahoo addresses to make contact. They are now doing it
through component forums and via companies set up in the UK in most
cases London, not just using yahoo e-mail addresses. This is quiet clever
as there are a number of companies in this country that will give Net 1 or better terms to companies because they are UK based.

Company 1

Marlon Goodspeed
Online Electronic Store Limited
20 Kent Street, Plaistow, London. E13 8RL
Email: mgoodspeed@onlineelectronicstore.net
or : info@onlineelectronicstore.net.

Placed an order for 10000 pcs PIC16C54C-04/P on the 3rd May on terms of payment in advance. We raised a proforma invoice and order receipt acknowledgement that day. Marlon Goodspeed signed and faxed back the order receipt acknowledgement and said the cheque would sent. We chased the cheque and were advised that it was sent on Wednesday 5th May, however it is now the 16th and it has not arrived. We also received no response from Marlon Goodspeed when we requested payment by BACS, CHAPS or TT as the cheque had not arrive. We have since had no more contact with Mr Goodspeed or Online via phone or e-mail.

Company 2

Mary Cole
Source Limited
91 Clare Street, Bethnal Green Road,
off Hackney Road, London. E2 9HA
Tel: 07040 121427
Fax: 00 121 448 11572
E-mail: sales@sourcelimited.org

Also placed an order for 10000 pcs PIC16C54C-04/P on terms of payment in advance by Telegraphic Transfer. We raised a proforma which we were actually chased for by Mary Cole. This was done and we were sent a Barclays Bank confirmation (via fax and e-mail) that the transaction had been requested by Source Limited and had been successful on the 10th.
They had however done and BACS payment not a TT, so the payment
should of arrived by the Thursday or Friday at the latest - it did not.

We have subsequently checked with Barclays Bank Fraud Department and on the information provided they believe the document to be fraudulent. We have now formerly reported this to Barclays Bank Fraud Department who will be getting back to us.

This company clearly thought that on the strength of the payment
confirmation we'd received that we would of made shipment. It had
the full address of the branch and what looked like an original banks
stamp. No doubt many companies would have shipped as the document
in question looked to all intense and purposes genuine.

Hello and thanks you for bring this topic up. I was just wondering. Is the names used in this scam "LINCOLN MOSES"? I'm dealing with one now that I am stringing along.

*Warning* Do not give your bank and trade information to this guy OR other people you may suspect. They are using this info to gain credibility in hopes that unsuspecting suppliers will not check background or bank references to give them net terms.
You work hard enough for your money!! Do not give it to this scum.

The people doing business in the world, will keep the own benefits for the goal. We should protect ourselves and also not to hurt the other business people. So, maybe the third party payment will be a safe method for both of buyer and seller.
