I work for a company, and I recently received a strange series of events.

I got a call from MCIWorldcom international, in which a person was engaging in text to speech through an operator, the operator spoke the words of the person to whom I was talking, and transcribed mine for the other person.

Turns out this person wants to order 2 laptops from my company.

OK...

So, I tell her to e-mail me. I wonder how she would have my phone # w/o my e-mail anyways, since all of my correspondence has both, but anyways...

I get an e-mail from her. I check the IP and it's in Ghana.

I e-mailed her asking a question, this is the reply:



I can't help but assume that this is an attempt to scam....

Any wisdom?

I couldn't agree more. The response is too vague. They didn't even sign with any kind of identity (name). A lot of the scams recently are involving "laptops" and I feel this is another attecmpt to scam. Don't trust it.

I'm a relay operator for MCI. THIS IS A SCAM. They do this hundreds of times a day. DO NOT SELL THEM ANYTHING. They use fake money orders/ stolen credit cards/ fake credit cards. They have people inside the US that will allow them to ship the package to their address, and then it will be forwarded to Lagos Nigeria. DO NOT SELL.
