I am a manufacturer's rep in the security industry (turnstileproducts) and received a very generic email quote request for one ofour products. I replied with some questions and he called with a verythick African accent and informed me that these are shiping to Ghana.Long-story short, I quoted him full price and within minutes heaccepted and said that he'll use his credit card to pay. This wasafter I made it clear that payment was due 10 business days PRIOR toshipping.This smells VERY fishy, but I can't figure out the scam (other than astolen credit card) if he pays in advance.Any ideas?
