We got a relay call last week from a supposed deaf person who wanted us to ship some camcorders to West Africa. I told my guy to quit talking and hang up the phone. Better watch out everyone. It seems like we get more new scams everyday.

This is a weird one for me.. Got a relay call(evidently from a deaf person) requesting some DVD players. Asked if I ship over-seas, I said no. Then asked if I shipped to Iowa, I said yes. She said her husband was overseas. I have three DVD players here and the person wanted all three. To make a long story short, at the end of several messages he/she requested "credit card be rang through now". Then several requests to send tracking number and ship right away. I said I can't until Monday morning, person said to call with the tracking number at 3 am.(Told you it was weird). I said by noon. I received an address with an apt. Called the Visa hotline and found out this card is drawn on an overseas bank. I have her name as Jennifer and she said the name on the credit card is Osama..or something like that.. Anyway, I found out if this is a fraud, it is on the merchant, not the Visa. If I send these, with signature requested am I safe? If I request a FAX of the credit card, front and back and the husband signature am I safe? I get the feeling most of you will say dump it! I also just wanted to let others know, just in case... Also, is there anyone I should contact?
