Hello, I hope this mail meets you well, however I am mailing in request to place and order from your site and which I want to know if it is possible for you to ship orders to the Ukraine . If shipment is possible to Ukraine, kindly get back to me and then I will send you a list of Items needed to be shipped including Delivery address. Also you will be referred to a shipper who handles my shipment, and once I receive the quote for the order and the shipment then I will commence on the payment with my master card. Kindly get back to me if this is acceptable . Best regards

It's a stolen credit card/shipping/goods rip off scam.

Scam the Scammer! Or just annoy the shit out of them?

I have my email set up to bounce any hotmail, and the like, accounts.

**slofox** · 27th March 2012, 15:55

I had this kind of query about five years ago. I still get 'em.

I just bounce and block.

Yup, bad news. Trash it.
A woman on the box the other night was scammed to the tune of $42'000 IIR. She checked the validity of the purchase through her credit card processor, Paymark or some such & she physically went to the bank with the order details, credit card no etc. They both ok'ed it but she is still liable for the credit card purchase & she has no come back on the goods dispatched.

yep, in my business, if you can't, or don't want to pay, open a proper account, you can't afford what I am selling.

Bwahahahahahaha. I know people with more money than they know what to do with who have hotmail accounts. Really, are you serious? Are you that ignorant?

Imagine if people based their buying decision on your use of the English language.

Seems legit.

Oh btw, it's "Got an online shop?"
