Current bout of people emailing to say they have received a gift but was broken in transit - could we replace. This is to a different address as the original was an hotel or business venue and was a corporate gift. The actual purchaser is a company and is a random big-name company with whom we could possibly do business with.
The emails are very convincing but for the inclusion of a line along the lines of "my children could have been killed" which flagged initial concerns as was too over the top.
So far none have been able to provide a consignment number (they threw the box away as their childrens lives were in mortal danger) or the original delivery postcode. Have been very careful not to reveal how our consignments are dispatched, numbers system, invoicing system etc so they have nothing to feed on.
Thought it worth warning on the forum as by usual standards it is a very well conceived scam and you can spend a lot of time tracking bogus and vague details down.
