Hi Everyone,

I got an email today from a person that wanted 20 panels (11 1/4" x 68 1/2").   A random 100 sq.ft. job landing in my lap would be nice.   The email was sent from a Rev. Mark Kim.   Once I told him my price he said to send the price and shipping information to (globalshippers1 @ gmail . com) and quote the shipping to this address:

Rev. Buckman SOS Home.
#23 Riverston Rd.
Accra-Ghana
00233

This seems very fishy to me.   I googled the Rev. Kim and Rev. Buckman and got a link to a board where this Rev. Buckman was asking these printing companies to print and ship 10k of fliers to Ghana.   They said it was a scam.

Anyone else come across this type of scam?

Thanks, Tim

It sounds like a scam to me.

Tim,
  Yes, I have received about 15 of those type of "orders" over the past few months from another country.  I've just ignored them.  Definitely a scam.  Good idea to warn others.
Thanks,
Maria Serpentino

Yes, Tim, it's bogus. Another "Nigerian 419" scam. Avoid participation. You'll never collect the $200, even if you finally pass "GO".
