Got this minutes ago, I know this is a scam as I've read a lot from this forum. This is the first time it happened to me and I am just curious what is the trick there? (or how are they going to fool me?)

Hello,

I'm a merchant from Indonesia.
I really want to purchase that goods that you sell directly. I'll pay direct through your merchant/credit card machine by my Visa/Mastercard. I'll pay higher than other buyer. I don't do paypal, bidpay or money transfer. I also pay the shipping cost to Indonesia via EMS. If you agree, please reply this email. I hope we can make a long term bussines relationship.

Best regards,
Rama Yoga

Question from: merchant1976
Title of item: ---deleted message---
 
either stolen card, or they get the charges reversed after the sale (chargeback, or whatever its called)
 
I am 99.9% sure it's a scam, but hey, stranger things have happened. Tell him you'll accept International Money Order or Western Union money order, nothing else and see what happens.
 
anytime they

1. are willing to pay more than anyone else
2. want to pay by credit card only
3. say they are from indonesia

they are scammers.
 
I got an idea:

1) Send for info where to mail your CC info, since that's the only way you're comfortable
2) Get their mailing address
3) Any promotions/magazine ads, mail them to their
4) Subscribe to items so they get more junk mail to their mail box
5) Sit back and laugh like a maniac just like Frankenstein's creator (hell if i remember the name)
 
Don't reply, besides being thiefs, most of them are spammers. They'll just harvest your known, quality, email to their lists.
 
for surely it must be an attack from al queda!!

Frankenstein WAS the creator -- the doctor fellow.

The monster we refer to as frankenstein was just a monster.
