I don't know about the other dealers or manufaturers here but this weekend I received about $18k worth of orders!!! yeh right. They all wanted to provide me with credit card or postal money order that "their associate owed them". One person even offered to have his associate come into my location, provide me with a international money order and wanted me to give him his "change" based on this money order that was mistakenly written out for twice the actual amount.
I am use to getting one or two of these a week but this weekend I received about 8 different order inquiries from various "clients" throughout the world.
Nigeria, Indonesia, Ghana, Senega, Asia, Japan and a few from countries I never heard of.
Looks like it was a fraud weekend. Just wanted to pass along the warning to everyone else out there. Both consumers and dealers are targeted in these scams.
Beware.
