    Anytime we get these bogus orders, we process them and let them know their coins have been shipped. (Just to have a little fun with them.) Then when they call looking for the tracking number, I usually have a little more fun with them. I wasn't in the mood for fun today, so when he called asking for the tracking number, I told him I gave it to the police and to get lost. This guy has been in operation since 2006 using stolen cards, according to this site: banknotes.com

    This one of many reasons why I love this forum. We had a couple of charges come through for just under $9,000 yesterday. I Googled this guy's name and this thread was at the top of the search results. Thanks for saving us a headache. Even if we would have caught it eventually, this saved me time in trying to analyze the charges.

    There's apparently another round of this going on... Indian/middle eastern dialect, male and female, either out of state or blocked number, asking if we have gold and what credit cards we take. When I tell them we don't take CCs on gold bullion due to the fees they immediately hang up... We've averaged a couple calls like this each week over the last month and a half or so.

    I have 2 driver's license photos of a couple of crooks. God knows how much I would love to post those image along with a few "fraudsters and forgers" in this line of business.

    But, I already wrote it off. image Thanks for the heads up.

    Actually, I didn't Google the name. I searched for his address and that's how I found this thread on Google. The perp changed his name but everything else posted by nencoin was the same.

    I have had this happy many times, and at one point I was so angry at the time it was wasting that I decided to go after these scumbags. I contacted the credit card companies and got to the various fraud departments. I had physical addresses, and had information that they were expecting my Express package filled with gold (I was going to send gold, but rather rocks). I told the credit card investigators that if they go to such-and-such address, then they could arrest the maggot. They said they didn't care, and that it happens every day. I told them that if they chip away at the problem, then it would get better, but they made it sound like they expect to write off a certain amount of bad charges each year. Or, more likely, they expect that their customers will absorb losses.

    Next I contacted the FBI with the same information. Same thing: too small to worry about and they didn't have the resources to handle this type of crime. Someone can get away with stealing 9,000 worth of gold, yet if the same fool walked into 7-11 and stole a pack of gum, that person would be arrested. Please explain this to me, as I still to this day do not understand the logic.

    robbery, rape, murder, gang crime and such - major priority

    coin and bullion crime, credit card crime-low priority


    also the more the public wants action the more likely the law will get involved

    it is nice and would be even nicer if the reports were all in one spot so it would be more easily referenced and quickly in case someone wanted/needed to check a list on the spot. just imo.

    He's at it again! Tried to order currency from us. You would think the Postal inspectors would have put a stop to his activities by now image

    I reported this guy to the fraud department at Mastercard and tried to escalate the case. They didn't care and made it sound like it is all part of the daily process. A couple of years ago I had another similar fraud problem and I reported it to the FBI, since I had found that it was actually a large ring operating throughout the country. I tied IP addresses, emails, card numbers, etc., together and could see what they were doing. FBI didn't care...AT ALL. I do not understand why they won't get involved. I concluded that we are in this alone and we just have to be smarter than these scumbags.

    The amount of credit card fraud is huge but it seems that it is just considered to be a cost of doing business.

    This is why a "cashless society" would be irrelevant! Removing cash from society would not abolish crime entirely. My 2 cents$image

    I just found out that reporting this activity to your Postmaster does absolutely nothing. You have to log in to your USPS account and pay $11.50 to have the package intercepted. The money is no big deal, but they could care less about the fraud involved image

    hello

    rape, robbery, murder ETC.. major crimes

    CC Fraud-minor crime

    in other words officials aren't going to care unless someone gets killed, raped, beaten, robbed at gunpoint ETC... then they care but to them this is minor not important enough to bother with
