The last retailer that I worked for would receive relay calls every now and then...they wanted to purchase items using a credit card, paying before the pickup and without any ID...not cool. Just got annoying after a while.

I get relay calls a few times a month at work. It's usually someone with a stolen credit card trying to buy 20 DVD players and have them sent to Singapore or Nigeria. Lately they've gotten smarter and have started providing shipping addresses that are in the US. If you refer them to a dealer in their area they act like they didn't get what you said and try to proceed with the deal.

Always a scam...
