"After failing to solicit a supplier for our tender (SMRG RFQ 52/2014/2015) we are head hunting a reliable supplier across borders to constantly supply us with our requirements. Please find attached the Invitation to Tender and Request for Quotation (RFQ) for you possible urgent assistance. Please feel free to contact me directly my contacts are below" Tender Document was attached to the email. Items. they requested Meitos VFD Inverter MTD270 Schmidt Digital Concrete Test Hammer Meitos Becht Motor ME520 What made me suspicious, is that we have been selling to mines in Zimbabwe for many years and have never heard of Shiri Mine \ or Shinvari Mineral Resources The tender was open for 4 months. Tender are normally only open for a short period of time And he claimed he was not able to solicit a supplier, I was able to source the products easily. As I was suspicious, I checked their website carefully Then searched the internet, and found the scamdex warning \ entry which match many of the details of this scam. How it works; the product they ask you to source is also part of the scam When you source the product you find a supplier, which is the same scammer When you pay the supplier for the goods, the goods never arrive In this case, see fictitious supplier below and our scamdex enteries for the same fraud See http://www.scamdex.com/ScamTipReports/16368 http://www.scamdex.com/ScamTipReports/22652 http://www.scamdex.com/ScamTipReports/15856 The supplier details ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Vusi Qaba Date: 11 November 2015 at 16:14 Subject: RE: Urgent Pricing To: Cc: Amanda Smith I hereby acknowledge the receipt of your enquiry with thanks.
