Warning: Fake shipping company scam"

I own an Engraving and Trophy store and Today I was contacted by Michael Daley who wanted to buy 150 trophies and send them to Singapore. (I work with over seas companies) But to send trophies there??? I went through my normal question routine:

To start your order we need a credit card number and expiration date, the wordage you would like to be engraved on each trophy and the sport you are interested in. The day you need your order and by all means your name and phone number He responded back with:

Hello Thank you for your email, I will like to recommend you to Mobo Shipping Company for the shipping of the unit to my branch in Singapore and i will like you to email them with the total weight of the unit together with the pick up and delivery address , So that they can get you the shipping cost. below is my branch address:

Maersk Inc896 Dunearn Road,#04-06B Sime Darby Center Singapore 589472 Singapore
The contact email to Mobo Shipping Company ismslaf_shipping_co@live.com and i will like you to go ahead and contact them now, so that i can provide you with my credit card for you to bill it for the total amount of the unit together with the shipping cost.

Best Regards.Michael Daley

I knew then it was a scam because we do not sell units, and never to Singapore. I also called the companies to put them on alert that scammers are giving out their information. Customer service was very nice and even verified that they do not have a Michael Daley working there. So now, a new scam has arisen. BE AWARE...
