Problem is these guys get cleverer by the day and there is little comeback if they are using a stolen credit card that has not been reported stolen.I am suprised Africa is a hotspot for you, we have always been targeted from Singapore with stolen American credit cards.
This guy is in fact based , so he says , in Singapore , in fact as we are talking this email just arrived , I was right he wants to split the transaction on to two credit cards , the bloody idiot has not even noticed that I added £700.00 more on to the total , look at previous post and see that the cost of goods inc.vat was £4025.00 plus freight of £2309 that makes £6334.00 !!
This is the email that just arrived. I have deleted the credit card numbers of course.
Here it is:
