Hello All:
I am in the USA and have had an ongoing discussion with a "Jim Paul" that wishes to purchase an ultrasound system. We are looking at a $28,000+ systems.
He has said his finance company would contact me. He now also wants to send more than the purchase amount and have me send him back the overpayment. Until this last email, all seemed to be okay. Payment was to be made by bankwire only.
We do not accept cashier's cheques drawn on foreign banks and even call on cheques issued in the USA if the transaction seems odd. We have had stolen cashiers cheques issued to us and refuse to send the product until the issuing bank verifies the validity of the check.
Here is the address of the "Jim Paul" I am dealing with.
The part that throws us is just how knowledgeable about the ultrasound systems he is and all the details he has regarding his order and other requests. This is very very rare with the scams we have had in the past.
Most just want to know if we will sell a "product" and "which credit card he will take".
