Rev. John Fuller contacted me about 100 banners measuring 32"x60" for the Osu Orphanage in Accura Ghana.  He told me to use the Cyprus Shipping Company.  He gave me 2 credit cards and told me to apply half of the total bill to each.  After talking to my banker, he advised me to beware.  I looked up the "Cyprus Shipping Company" on Google and ran across this site.  Looks like my banker was right.

***SCAM ALERT*** We received calls and e-mails from someone claiming to be Rev. John Hurley from Continental Church. He requested a quote for door frames, which we sent him. He then wanted to proceed with the order, and gave us three different credit card numbers to pay for the material, none of which he was not authorized to use. He wanted us to then send $3,300.00 via Western Union to Scandinavian Shipping Company to cover the shipping costs. Of course this so called shipping company was recommended by the Reverend. Below are the e-mail(s) we received from the Reverend and the shipping company.

Here is my experience. I was requested to provide a quote for banners (see below). They approved my inflated price no questions. They then refered me to the shipping company that also provided a very fast reply, too fast, like 15minutes later, with the info you see below. Far too fast to be legit if you ask me. Anyhow i started diging deeper on the web and found every body here. I will now cease all contact with these people. *oh here they are calling again.

ooppss!!

forgot to include telephone number i was contacted by.

- 233247936334

Lyle Letawsky is another name they are using, same scam

You may first get an e-mail from the following e-mail address:
gerrysmith8@gmail.com

If you are a business, he may ask for a quote on a product and then want to order in bulk.
This is also part of an e-mail from him

"Hello
           Thanks for the email and i appreciate that.Yes i want to go ahead and proceed with the order.Regarding the shipping,i will be shipping them  to GEAR HOUSE AUDIO 31 1st Street in South Africa and i recommend you contact this shipping company and find out about the shipping charges from your location to this delivery address
below:


GEAR HOUSE AUDIO 31 1st Street,
Bezuidenhout Valley, Johannesburg
/2001/South Africa.



And this is the contact for the shipping as well:

Name :Cyber Shipping Company.
Email: cyber_shippinglimited@hotmail.com

The freight company will be at your location for pick up.
I want you to contact them and find out about the shipping cost and email me back with the subtotal of the units plus the shipping cost and where they will be picking up the units and get back to me so that i can provide you with my card information now.Thank you and waiting for your prompt responds.

Rev. Gerry Smith"

Be aware of similar e-mails

Not that number, but the same story.  Mine actually wised up and used an online tty service acting like they were deaf, which also prevents tracing the number.  But when it came down to where the shipment is supposed to go, the same address, 451 Nima hwy.  I'll be reporting them as well, and another number they contacted me on is 233241022767.  The name of the contact was Rev. Jeff Clifford, supposedly connected to an orphanage, and wanted skateboards sent there.

He is now using Pastor Lyle and is emailing companies instead of calling - we received a email early this week for some banners

Same thing as all the above. Was suspicious from the start as the English was extremely poor. Original email listed below.

I'm so glad you all posted messages here. I just got an email from Lyle Letawsky asking for 80,000 brochures that say 'Save the Children.' Guess I will ignore it!

Thanks for your posts: I also received this email. When I saw "black paper" it got to me as rather odd so, I decided to check it out further. Guess I'll delete it as well!:

Well I got the email as well.  I asked him to supply details such as address, phonenumber deposit etc and got a partial reply.  As I received the emails and responded, I sent copies to phonebusters (RCMP) with the information and the actual email that I received.  On the final response to this email,I suggested another printing company that could assist him then promptly phoned that company and gave them the heads up.  They agreed to send any response to phone busters rcmp as well.  web site for phone busters is www.phonebusters.com  It we keep informing phonebusters then at some point they will catch up with them.

Mr Henry Wilson just emailed me with the following, it sounds like it belongs with this growing list of fraudulent activity. (we are based in Australia)

"Dear Customer Service

 My name is Mr Henry Wilson with the Wilson And Company and i am sending this email to your business in regards to the order for some bath, body & massage oils ,Essential Oil and unscented carrier oil and so can you send me an email back with the types sizes and  pricing information as well as the availability and also let me know the ones that you carry and their pricing and also the forms of payment that you accept so that we can proceed with the order and you can contact me back on the email address henrymy2001@yahoo.com

Henry Wilson has contacted me a number of times regarding quotes and orders for natural remedies. He wants money transferred by Western Union for shipping and is very insistent, he rings constantly every half hour. He wants stock sent to Ghana to the Penticost Church (spelt wrongly)

The "shipping Company's details are below. But they insist you do a Western Union transfer with a "Quick collect". I suspected them before it all went too far. I think they are just after the shipping costs with no intent to pick up the order. I will report them.
