[font face="Arial, Helvetica"]This is from an e-commerce anti-fraud list I participate in. This was sent out as a great example of an order you should never, ever fill.
In short: Writing from a UK email address, "Tom Smith" says he's ordering for his company in
West Africa but then mentions he's currently in
England. Oddly enough, he wants shipping to
Lagos Nigeria (ha ha!), and to end this World Tour of Fraud he supplies a billing address in
Ohio.
Gee, what could be wrong with this order?
