We have also been scammed by a customer named: Abdulaziz Nasser Al-Thani. Ordered to be drop shipped to the address at this phone #.  Billed through Paypal and never paid the bill. Watch out for this name.

Hi All,
This number and address is used by ARAMEX users (www.aramex.com). ARAMEX are a UAE based courier company and this US address is registered to them.

Any registered user under them is able to ship US online store products to this address, and in turn ARAMEX then couriers the product to the user's address in the Middle East

The address and the phone number aren't fraudulent, however some people may be misusing this address

Also, they are Niza2007 ID on eBay,
[***] people, name used to buy on eBay is Hissa.F.AlThani-DOH850
14729 182nd St
Springfield Gardens, NY 11413-4028
This person is a wacko nutjob... and I'm getting eBay to investigate this crap, bought from me and then went nuts, delivery confirmation proves they got the items, then they claim 6 weeks later never received items... bullcrap.. liers.. and scammers.. I am going to hire an investigator next week, because this must stop.. are U with me people? Whoever is at that address is total nasty, manipulating liers that need to be stopped!
The email on the PayPal account is niza2009
Buyer's Email:
niza2007@yahoo.com

Scammers, scammers,
These people are not very smart.  Paper trails, delivery addresses, IP addresses, so like all criminals, it's just a matter of time.  The inconveinance to so many others along the way is simply a taste of what these people have coming to them.  To those who have been scammed, look for a positive return somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 fold.  Karma is king.  You get back exactly what you put in so don't do anyone wrong cuz I sure would hate to be on the receiving end of this guys future.

Ethics is very important in business.  It also has a greater, longer lasting return on your efforts.
Thanks for letting me vent my experience.

most like me in the middle east use aramex for shipping outside us check out ship and shop website
http://www.shopandship.com/my-shopandship/agreement.aspx

and i am real person and i work for aramco oil company

We just cancelled an order where the billing address was Aramex's address;

adel buhasan
kac
147-29
182nd street
springfield gardens, NY 11413

Phone: 718-553-8740
Email: abosombol@yahoo.com

We cancelled it due to many red flags. The shipping address was actually an apartment complex in Newark Delaware, but that's just a little different spin on a common fraud. The IP Address was out of Kuwait. Based on our many years of ecommerce experience, this is 100% fraud.

Watch out merchants!

It is not scam it is Aramex address to be used to shopping online and forward it to us and this is their website:

Aramex website:
http://www.aramex.com/News/item.aspx?ID=deddd5f8-4d34-4b0c-9748-ffb04ee577de


The problem is the customers who are using this service do not have full information about how to use it and how to write the new address in USA UK  China correctly and i think that should be cleared by Aramex to all their customers for example we are using this address:

USA
----------------
MY name
My number in Aramex
182-21 150th Avenue
Springfield Gardens, NY 11413
Tel: 718-553-8740

UK
----------------
MY name
My number in Aramex
Aramex House Old Bath Road Colnbrook
Slough, Berkshire SL3 0NS England
Tel: 01753-210399

China
----------------
MY name
My number in Aramex
1618 Yishan Rd Building C 1/F Minhang District
Shanghai , 201103
Tel: +862 (1) 6163 5511


So do not be panic and you can contact Aramex and they will explain every thing to you.

Thanks

No [***] this person is a wackjob and maybe everyone in the whole building. I am having to offer a refund to a person named magdy khris AKA itad1 from ebay. This person took 4 days to pay me and files a case after 3 weeks saying the item never arrived. I offered a solution which involved waiting a while longer but no way was the buyer waiting another week, wants money NOW. The address is the same too.

Hello Everyone

The address provided is not a scam I also is a customer of Aramex and using same address with my specific code. Customer using this are mostly for Middle East, like me im residing ing Riyadh and my Code added in the Address is RUHxxxx, so if you track the IP address of your customer mostly it will be ip loated in MIddle East,  This is also reason why you found different names with same address but with different codes.
You can the link provided by Mr. Abubaker for more info.

Guys, I know there are scammers out there but not all of them are. Aramex is equivalent to US' DHL, they are a trusted company, however, whether the buyers are trustable or not is for you to decide. I'm not sure what you could do to avoid being scammed but try to get the buyer to send a carbon copy of the Shop and Ship email they receive....yep when a package arrives at Aramex US designated to a particular account say AUH 143, the Aramex company then sends an e-mail out to the person associated with this account with tracking number and details of shipment. As a seller, you can ask for a carbon copy of that e-mail message as proof that the item is going to be shipped to the buyer so later if the buyer says he never received, you could track the number through www.shopandship.com simple as that.

Load of crap. We ship internationally everyday. We slipped and shipped to the NY address. Customer did a reversal. We are out the money and someone in Kuwait has the product. If we cancelled and shipped direct to a real address, we would have had more of a legal stand to keep the transaction.

These are good companies, I'm sure, but they are also fronts for credit card scamming.

Why don't you just use your real address? As a merchant, I will gladly ship to a real address I can Google to make sure it exists. Because of the possibility of fraud using these PO Box companies, we don't ship to them anymore. They are only hurting themselves by not vetting their customers thoroughly.

I received a call this morning from this number but didn't leave a message. I have not order anything or expect anything.

Just had an order from this person. For some reason the order didn't sit right. I am so grateful for this string of posts. I googled the address and you appeared. I immediately reported it to ebay and canceled the transaction. He is using this name and address now:
Mustapha Zehana
DHA 3776
14729 182nd St
Springfield Gardens, NY 11413-4028

What I want to know is how he has such a HIGH positive ebay score?!

I received an order today, paid by Paypal.  After seeing all these notes I decided to find out what protection I have, if any, as this is a Paypal transaction.   What I learned is that the address he's shipping product to is NOT a verified address.  As a result, Paypal offers NO protection against chargebacks.   The offer protection if the person claims the product wasn't received at that location AND you have a signature, but that's it. They don't otherwise protect you from the customer reversing the charges from the Paypal account.

We just received an order from someone (different name than any listed here) coming from UAE using the Springfield Gardens NY address for both billing and shipping. They paid using PayPal. I just got off the phone with PayPal disputes department, and they assured me that it would be ok to send the items because the NY Aramax used was a verified address as far as PayPal was concerned.  As long as I ship within 7 days and provide a tracking number showing the package arrived at that address (no signature is even required under $250) that I would be protected.  If a claim or chargeback was attempted with PayPal, the buyer would not win if I did those two things.  If a claim was made w/ her credit card company, PayPal would intercede and most likely that would not go anywhere either.  If it did, PayPal would pick up the cost.  So I am going to go ahead and ship it.  The company has a history going back to the 80s, so there must be legitimate customers even if there have been some who have abused the process.  In this case, with the assurance of PayPal because the address is verified in their system, it seems like it will be ok.  I'll come back and update if I find out differently.

Hi Chlorella Fella .com,

Did the shipping go smoothly? Any dispute or chargeback?

I received an order for the same address, which was paid by PayPal. I am hestitant to ship becuase it looks suspicious.

Thank you for sharing.

Hello,
You shouldn't publish personnel information about your customer.
I m the person who ordered from you and I do have a high eBay score because I always pay my orders.

I use aramex address because nobody wants to ship to my place.
I hope you understand and please do care about your customer

Regards

718-553-8740 called me at work!! HORRIBLE SCAM.

We had an order from  an Arabic name.  Large order, he was in a "hurry" which is usually the first FLAG.  We didn't have the correct amount of items he needed and offered a substitute.  He was quick to accept and then order even more.  Again, with the "rush" that he had an event in a few days.  Then when we emailed asking to confirm order changes in writing, nothing.  Didn't hear from him in 3 days.  At first he was replying within minutes.  the shipping address was: 82-21 150th Avenue Springfield Gardens, NY  11413.  After reading about the charge backs and speaking with the card company, we realized it smelled worse than rotting fish.  The card issuing bank is NOT part of the AVS system and hence, while they approved the charge, we would be liable for a charge back.  Knowing it is a foreign issued card and he is using a NY forwarder address is all we needed to know.  Charges refunded, order cancelled and we are safe from another scammer on the web.  Be warned.
