These fake shipping company websites work in conjunction with the fake websites claiming to sell internationally wholesale commodities such as beer, soft drinks and energy drinks, a4 paper, powdered milk and baby formula, even illegal drugs and prescription medicines, etc. which of course, do not exist. The fake shipping sites that “ship” these non-existent goods to you, are also scams from West African scammers mainly from Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana etc.., living in various countries, most having entered those countries using student or working visas.
Most non-delivery scammers request a “downpayment” for goods, usually via Western Union/MoneyGram or some other money transfer service or via bank to bank transfer and then simply never deliver the goods. Both of those methods of payment are irreversible and effectively untraceable even after the victim realizes he has been scammed. Some non-delivery scammers employ the use of fake shipping companies to attempt to extract even more money. They will pretend to ship your goods, sending you official looking manifests and invoices. However, they will claim that the goods are stuck in some port and require additional, unanticipated custom duties or fees. Of course, if you pay these, another “snafu” will develop and this will continue until your funds are exhausted or you realize you are being scammed. Any request for additional funds is a clear indication that you are dealing with a scammer.
