I received an order request via my website email address that appears to be a scammer located in Ghana or Johannesburg , South Africa from one Brent Terhark. The message was so generic that I saw red flags immediately. Here's his message:
So I Googled his name and found several suppliers he has contacted who also became suspicious. I'm not sure what his scam is, perhaps getting a supplier to ship merchandise that is never paid for. Google it and you'll see what I mean.
He tried to order a large quantify of bamboo poles from one supplier. Hope somehow he gets his poles where the sun don't shine!
In any event, this individual may be targeting other scrollsawers. So be on your guard.
