This is an Aramex freight forwarding service for people residing outside of the United states. It is not a fraud. if the box number says KWI that means its Kuwait... If it says SPA that is spain. This is a service so people outside of the US and UK can shop on line.. You can go to www.aramex.com and find more details.

Seems like major miscommunication between the companies and banks, moreover its just a mailbox too the concept is the same, its unfair to randomly block someone without checking the full background, not everyone abroad is a  fraud. So much for wanting to push sales at the worst recession in history, I guess you have record sales nationally.

I just got a call from this guy and the address is:

Mohammad , Alsahman / DHA 5360
147-29 182nd Street
Springfeild(spelling of Field) NY 11413

I do not feel good about it I might just not even deal with it. Thank You All!!!

Even though there are probably many legitimate buyers who use this service, it is IMPOSSIBLE for a seller to know who is legitimate and who is not.
Here is the main problem; ANY TIME you are shipping a product to anything other than the credit card billing address, you run the risk of losing your money. All it takes is for the cardholder to say "I didn't buy that" and if it cannot be proven that it was delivered to the BILLING ADDRESS, you will have no recourse as a seller. That's the bottom line.

So yes, sellers do need to be very careful when shipping to this company. Perhaps you need to be asking buyers to fax you a copy of their billing statement as proof that they are the cardholder.

Aramex as freight company is widely used in Middle East by expats (including me, originally from Europe).
Cancelling all orders without even checking the end user or blocking IP of freight provider is not wise decision, as you are losing number of potential reliable customers.
I will be probably glad to have my order canceled by someone, who cancels my order because I used Aramex or DHL or UPS, or whichever is not your prefered freight company.

Just received an order as well with this phone number in Springfield Gardens, NY. We have been hit with a lot of fraud orders as of late and have been very sensitive to orders that pique our intereste as far as their fraud score. Right now, if an order seems at all fishy we are immediately refunding them rather than dealing with shipping the item and a charge back. Like someone else said, it's near impossible for the seller to know which orders are real and which are frauds and if the billing address and IP address are sketchy or don't match what's on the credit card and is the address we ship to, we get stuck minus the product and the money. It's terrible that I'm sure we've refunded quite a few legitimate orders in the past two weeks, but one mad apple......

ARAMEX Shop&Ship is a 3PL service (Third Party Logistics) company. For us expats here in the Middle East who find it hard ordering items in other countries this is the service we use. There some US, Europe or Asian sites that does not ship items to middle east and so Aramex provides this service. Aramex gives us three addresses: 1 for US, 1 for UK and 1 for China. All of us members have almost the same addresses, the difference is only the name and the first line of address code (ex. DHA 5360 - just like the one from above) I think DHA is for Dhammam, Saudi Arabia, KWI is for Kuwait, AUH - Abu Dhabi, UAE (just like mine) etc.
I had no problem on my purchase in eBay. After paying thru paypal, item was shipped to my "New York" address, (which is actually an ARAMEX warehouse in NY) then, ARAMEX staff will forwarded that item to my UAE address.

All the reviews that claim this company is not a fraud and it's good to use are coming from the people themselves who are apart of the scam team.

I received an order but I was way to skeptical before I went ahead,I googled the address,number and the name seems to suspicious. This is exactly what I came into contact with to learn these guys are just con-artists!

I dont care what business they do,I'm never selling them anything.

All fraud systems flagged this, so we wont be sending anything out.... I entered that number in just to see what I could find and wow....

Here are the details..Seems the address is the same as you all found, yet he changes his name.

Ok, I need some advise. I received an order today from this same address and phone number:
fahad alshahrani RUH 12700
14729 182nd St
Springfield Gardens, NY 11413-4028
United States
(718) 553-8740

It is for a macbook pro for 1300.00 (this customer won an ebay auction). Why are they using this company when I ship internationally (except for Africa). I offer express mail international USPS service to overseas buyers. This has left me curious. I don't use paypal but a direct merchant account and if the shipping and billing address are not the same, the credit card will get denied. Any thoughts on what I should do?

How badly do you need this sale? If you're not comfortable with it, stand by your guns and tell them you ship your way or no way.

After posting on here. They attempted to use a credit card where the credit card billing address did not match the one on their ebay account, so the transaction was declined. I sent a notice to cancel the transaction which the customer immediately did.

I'm now in the process of reporting the account to ebay for fraudulent activity. Hope the customer service rep will help me get this account off there...although a new one will probably be up in a matter of minutes. No telling how many people have been scammed.

We do get few orders from this address. Usually we call the customer on his mobile/landline and verify the information. If you speak to their family member on landline, ask them to provide the mobile number of the customer, if they provide then this gives us enough confidence.

Based on this practice so far so good

This number is popular! Received an internet order from Ahamed Almulla PO Box 7675 Doha Doha 00974 QA Qatar.  Immediately following the order we received an email asking the order be shipped to Ahmed AL-Mulla DOH 4075 182-21 150th Avenue, Springfield Gardens, NY 11413.  
1) Note the spelling of the name on the original order
2) Note the spelling of the name on the 'new' shipping address
And of course the phone number on the order was 718-553-8740

Sellers beware!

Just cuaght this scum on ebay, user id is mahdiabulnabi.  is getting greedy, confirmed with Ebay.com, this guy is a fruad/criminal
uses shipping address 147-29 182nd st NY


Stay clear.

After a little research, I have found several names tied to this guy. Most of them obviously fictitious....Osama Bin Laden, Mohamed Al Saawy, etc... . Yes it's true, there are legitimate transfer hubs out there, but that's not the problem. This guy, and others like him, are tenacious SCAMMERS. Note some favorable comments above me, that's him chiming in! Don't be fooled!

So you're in on it too?

Seems to be a "fraud," and the repliers here are trying to get readers in on the scam.  I took the liberty of searching the Aramex website...they have a press release which assists sellers with "scams"

Press Release from Aramex (12.10.09)
Protect Yourself from Online Fraud  

Published on: 12/10/2009 5:02:00 PM  

Aramex builds bridges of trust with clients all over the world. To facilitate business and provide our customers with convenient channels we have utilized electronics tools for communication and interaction over the Internet. As helpful as the Internet can be, many parties engage in fraudulent activity in an attempt to deceive clients into disclosing personal or financial information, or providing payments unrightfully. To give credibility to their actions, the fraudulent parties often cloak their identities under reputable brands such as Aramex and other respectable organizations. 

Aramex does not send any e-mails to request payment or cash transfers in advance for a shipment that you have not requested and has not been delivered to you. 

How to spot fraudulent e-mails? 

Most fraudulent e-mails share common elements, such as: 

• Distorted Aramex logo, such as having a disproportionate size or appearing different from what is shown on aramex.com.
• Lack of contact details or phone number; the e-mail asks you to use a website or click a link. 
• Mistypes “Aramex” or uses the name in combination with other words, such as: aramexupdate.com or aramexinvoice.com. 
• Statements asking you to make a payment-in-advance for a shipment that you have not ordered and have not received. 
• Unexpected requests that urge you to take immediate action; such as transferring money or checks to an unknown third-party via a trusted brand, such as Western Union or eBay. 
• Requests for your contact information or bank account details. 

If you suspect receiving a fraudulent e-mail, you can report it to Aramex by contacting customer service team, or by calling us at the number listed under your country on aramex.com. You will find this number by simply visiting aramex.com, then clicking the Office locator, and then choosing your country name. We take these e-mails very seriously and continue doing our utmost to protect your interests against illegal and fraudulent activities.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We found ours through ebay as well.  We will be refunding the monies.
 
When requested for him to send us contact information (via ebay messenger only), he did not give any email address nor telephone number.  We just received a strange generic email which claimed it was sent through pay pal with a whole bunch of hyperlinks.  We did not respond to this letter, nor click on the hyperlinks.

We will be advising the proper authorities on our actions.
