We have received a few phone calls from people in the UK who called to query that goods bought from them on ebay by a particular name Helen Richardson and directed to our address in UK were not paid for, they believed they have been scamed and fooled to ship their goods out to the supposedly buyer's address which happens to be our warehouse/receiving centre address.
Well, we are a Parcel consolidation company ( an hybrid logistic solutions) for genuine overseas shoppers who wants to source for quality products online from western countries highstreets and retail outlets etc..
As most of these shop will not ship to certain countries, we come inbetween the buyer and seller, providing a local address were all their overseas shoppings can be delivered, consolidated and forwarded to door in their countries.
Scammers have found our service a suitable mask to carry ot their crimes.. Our message to ebayers and other online sellers, is this: if you ever fall a victim and you were asked to forward the item to UK address, go online and check the forwardimg comapny address and numbers and you may be lucky if the goods have not been ship overseas.. you have to act fast though.. we are now aware of these cases, so we tend to withold goods with such queries and do a fraud check, if we are satisfied it's a scam we do ask the sellers to arrange to pick their goods back.. so far we have returned goods back to 2 customers and few suspected ones are still witheld and under investigation..
once again, if you have been scammed and the address was in UK and a company, please go and look up the company and call up, might be our address and we might have your goods.. we have a few suspicious names under investigation.
Its unfortunate these things happen but we can beat them to it by joining in the fight against these fraudsters.Hopefully our joint efforts will discourage them.
