   Where do they make the money?  Are they expecting you to send the slippers?  It could be fun to send them the wrong item accidentally :whistling:

DDS here how It work.
Cost of the goods is 6,000. + and they want to use there shipping method, and it always high like 3,000. now they paid you 9,000. in stoning credit cards, now you pay the shipping that is fails and then the credit  card bills it all back to your bank,  then they in up with 3,000. with no goods that was never pick up.
Now you are out the 3,000. and the cost you put in to your product,

Now I am still waiting there e-mail back as I plan on posting how this will turn out  :scratch: I am hoping they will give me some card # I plan on call the card co/ up then I will go from there,

Well, if it is legit - then you have yourself a busy spring and a nice order!   :happy1:

Hope it turns out good, but nice you were able to catch this.  Such a big order is a little fishy, especially from Sweden!

There was a Swedish visitor on the ATI website back in early April.  Came by doing a google search of 'Cyclops Ice jigs' and went to the link exchange - could be the same guy and got to your site from there?!  The IP address isnt THAT close to where this guy wants the shipment to, but you never know..... Just a thought.

Some of the language looks similar to someone that contacted me wanting a bunch of shirts. They were not from Sweden though. I think I told them to call me and of course they never did.

   Bongo international shipping.   Per month or a 1 time 5$ fee.  What legit customer would not want to protect themselves also.

This IS a scam relating to the link below.

Was gonna say, doing a Google search, of his email is from his ISP provider, which it seems like... personainternet.com ... Is a Canadian based ISP... So I am not totally sure on this...

http://www.eastlink.ca/index.asp is what comes up when you Google http://www.eastlink.ca/index.asp <--- last part of his email...

Could always run a background check on him too as well, see if he has prior scamming charges or whatnot.

Just be careful,

Tyler

PS:

Not sure if this is the same Daniel Grace or not but check this link out...
