Printing Scams Make Their Rounds on Web —Michelson

Design Distributors responded online with an estimate, but became suspicious when "Mr. Green" replied (in an e-mail laden with typos 
and grammatical errors) that he accepted the price and was ready 
to provide his credit card information, but first wanted the printer 
to e-mail Tankers Limited Shipping to find out the freight charges. The 28 cartons of printed flyers, Green instructed, were to be shipped to the Mr. Wilson Orphanage Home at an address in Paris. Once the total bill had been tallied, Green indicated he would pay in full by credit card. Tankers Limited, by the way, did e-mail a quote back to the printer with various shipping options based on delivery. And the shipper noted, surprise, surprise, that its company policy was to receive payment from the location of pickup only.
