Hey Guys. Since I'm sorta out of the loop these days, I'd like to know who the scammers are calling lately. I know it used to be pharmacies, auto parts, bookstores, etc.....Are they targeting certain types of businesses lately?

There are the usual basic test strips, t-shirts, gold chains, puppies, and soccer gear, but also some oddities like lamps, snakes, trailers, campers, and even spotlights...

the biggest trend i noticed lately is that they are not using actual shipping methods as much anymore, such as through dhl, fed ex, ups, etc. it's much more frequent now to have the business run the entire amount including shipping with the scammer's "shipping company" and then the business wires money to the "shipping company". so no actual goods are mailed.

I do get a lot of requests for skf bearings but the weirdest is caskets and cremation jewelry.
