Yes I have also checked out the address and it does exist, but it is a shipping company that has nothing to do with this scam and they don't know this person.  I have already contacted this company and they don't know who this guy is...

You see.. these guys have really done there homework....I mean I wish you could have seen there web page.... very well done.  They even had the internet security labels with links and docs on the site.  BBB had a company that had a similar name....similar!

They had Verisign, TrustE, e-commerce, and a few more... I mean it looked legit on all levels.  The sight had flash, several pages, different packages, shipping stuff you would expect to find on a shipping company website!....my tracking number worked and it gave me the report of the item and inspection and description... everything......It's just that one little thing that made me pause!

It was just that I just could not get over a company only accepting one form of payment....and that payment being Western Union... I have seen way too many "AfriScams" to even consider sending money Western Union!

The big break for me was when I contacted by phone a sales person from Trust e and started to get some answers.  I mean who even clicks or checks those things?... well it turns out that the company was fake...similar to one of their clients in the states, but this website was out of Belize and not the US.

I got a call from the director of Trust e and she spear headed the effort to bring the site down...

If you look up this Freight Co scam... you will find a few victims, but nobody really did anything to stop them...Thank you Trust e!

If you go on and look up this "Freight Co." scam... it comes in many forms...The common link to all of them is WESTERN UNION ....evil!

Steveo, heres a plan

Sorry Viracocha for hijacking ya topic but we should set something on here for people like you
where members near by could check out such things before you part with any cash, so I might
try and set something like that up here because no one else is doing it

Game on... I like the idea!

A  "BBTH Global directory for overseas purchase!"

I could just see it!

<knock knock>  oh hello Mr. Smith... my name is B.K. Nose... a few weeks ago you sold an e-track to a member of ours for 200 bucks... and you never delivered the item.....Gee wiz that is a strange accent coming from someone from the UK...and you look nothing like the fat white guy on your profile...well I'm here to add a little blue to your complexion"  <Whap! Thump! KeerPow! Spank!> "Have a nice day, oh and thanks for the 200 bucks back.... did you want your front teeth?"
