Kindly get back to me with the quote as well as the lead time after payment. Also, advise if there is a surcharge when making payment via Credit Card

same scam

Got the same inquiry from Greg Grant at G G Inc, with the Midland address through our contact us page. It was somewhat suspicious, but seemed like it could be legit. Luckily they responded with the address and phone, which I googled and led me here. I told him the $5K items he is inquiring about are $100K each, and that I would need their credit card and social security numbers in order to proceed with a purchase.

Greg Grant from G & G INC

I got the following message today and it has the same phone number. This is obviously a scam.

I have attached a copy of the original email he sent through our website contact page. I responded to him asking for full contact information and here it is:

G G INC

Hello,
I think the same person contact me, same phone number but using G&G Inc which is a house in TX. Same program, pays with a credit card and use his shipper. appeared semi-ligit because of the products and industry however wanted us to ship toan Alaska address that when googled was an empty lot and the receiver only had a first name.

Scammers, you can do better than this...

Received a filled out contact us form on our website which looked like a semi-legit inquiry except for the name and business name. The contact name given was "Bob Dylan" which looks fake as it gets, after googling Bob Dylan you will see what I mean. The company name was B D Co. which could not be found anywhere nor the phone number. I have had small business owners contact me before that I could not find online, so I took the time to quote the scammers on a bunch of products.

What set me off onto their scam is that they were too compliant and accepting of pricing, in my industry every single client negotiates with us. The second thing that put me on alert was their usage of the words "kindly" instead of please, such as "kindly send me this or that" which is more of a East Indian mannerism than a Texan American the way the scammers were presenting themselves.

The scammers offered to prepay for the good with a credit card, which most companies would probably be very happy about, but they insisted for us to "kindly" use their shipping company and arrange the shipping. I googled that shipping company and it is linked with several scam reports. It looks like these scammers are paying using a stolen credit card, then they get you to pay their shipping company with your real credit card, offer to reimburse you for the shipping so you are out the shipping fees.

Somewhat sophisticated but I think these scammers are lazy or targeting lazy business owners.
