773-245-8255

This number is being used as a scam, they use the name of a legitimate company but use bogus phone numbers to try and scam you. Don't fall for it! They always ask for projectors, LCD monitors, etc., and they only want to pay by credit card (which is a stolen credit card).

This guy identified himself as Phillip Hutman and said he was with the Twister Group.. I emailed the Twister Group and they identified him as a con artist.

He wanted to buy several macbook computers and have them shipped overnight to another state.  He gave me all the card info for a woman's name in Miami.. Using the info he gave me I found her phone number and she confirmed that was her card and it must have been stolen.  

I felt good about alerting a person to a potential $8,000 charge.  

If someone calls you from this number, file a report with the FBI.

The company exist and seems to legit. the address is correct but the individual is  believed to be a scammer using a a company he is not connected with.

Nice scan, start out asking for a quote for 1 IBM laptop, (Which I quoted over list price) he agrees, then asks for overnight shipping to the project site (San Antonio, TX) then increase from 1 to 12 laptops.

Here's something interesting, then he calls me asking for the updated quote.  That's something I never seen them do before.  (Asian someing caller from 773-245-8255)
