Does anyone know a private shipping company: X-Press Freight Forwarder Inc.?

I just banned her from my page after reading your post if it feels like a scam it is a scam – DO NOT DO IT

Ok, here are the emails I have received from these scammers. I left my response as well. Please note that while I responded in Spanish, they never did. I am sure there are folks living in Spain that do not speak the language, but it did strike me as a little odd that they neither responded in Spanish, nor let me know that they did not speak it. Anyway, here they are:

Thanks to all who posted here, we received an order from this person as well. Here is her letter below.

Hello,
Thanks for the total quote of my order.The total cost of my order is okay with me and I’m ready to pay the bills and want you to send me an invoice via email and i will advise with my Credit Card for you to charge for the payment of my order. But, i just got a response from my shipping Agent that He cannot receive payment via credit or debit card from me at the moment due to some circumstance beyond their control. I want you to help me Charge $740.00 USD to my shipping agent who is going to pick up my ordered items from you.

The $740.00 USD that will be sent to the shipping agent is for the shipping of my order which will be deducted from my credit card. Also, I’m compensating you with the sum of $100 USD for the transfer fee and for surcharge. Please note that i should have given the shipping agent my credit card for him to deduct the shipping funds but He told me that he doesn’t have the facilities to charge or debit credit card at the moment,so that’s why i bring my vote of confidence in you and i don’t want you to betray the vote of confidence i put in you. I want you to transfer the funds to him after you have make the charges and the money charged from my credit card has cleared your account, then you can now make the transfer to the agent via western union. I will have love to do this my self but there no Western union here around me.

So the charges you’ll make on my credit card will be:

Order Fee ( $908.40 USD )
Agent fee with shipping fare ( $740.00 USD )
Transfer Fee plus Your compensation ($100 USD )
Total: ($1, 748.40 USD )

Note: My credit card will be charged for the amounts above. Please do get back to me if you are in the office right now so that i can forward my credit card details to you, then you can charge full amount and transfer the agent shipping funds to Him via any western union or money gram that is closer to you.

Hope you understand?
Thanks for your co-operation & understanding. This is the beginning of a long time business relationship together.
Hope to read from you ASAP
Thanks and God Bless you.

Schuyler.

This seems to be a common scam.

This one has wording very similar to some of the posted emails.
http://glassmagazine.com/glassblog/warning-fake-shipping-company-scam

This documents some more.

Damn. Just got the same series of emails from Schuyler at Smoochy Linashoppe. Thought it sounded too good to be true! Thank you all for sharing the info. Man, this is why I love the internet. Stay safe and scam-free folks :-)

Has anyone else noticed posts appearing and disappearing here

I have been communicating back and forth with Schuyler Bedge as well and thankfully found this thread. She wanted to order 250 soaps from me, I am a very small time soap maker so this would be huge. The weight would have been over 100 lbs and the shipping estimate from that same shipper was $960.10 to go from NY to Spain. I didn’t think it was a red flag until I noticed the western union request. The fact that the 7 lb package would have been more expensive than 100+ lb package is very fishy. Has anyone actually shipped to this person and had success?

I actually found this old story that seems like it’s still pretty relevant http://glassmagazine.com/glassblog/warning-fake-shipping-company-scam
It’s so sad that they target small businesses.

Hey guys so after finding this forum I feel so much better. You guys gave me allot of information regarding this Schuyler character. I received the exact same emails verbatim. So I did some further research and tried to trace the IP address of the email. And what do you know, its untraceable because they scrambled their header on the emails they send. However I do have a program that lets me know if anyone opens an email I send them, and they don’t know it either. And every time they have opened their email from me, they opened it from the state of New York. Good tool to have if you don’t already do. Its an app called Hubspot, it used to be called Sidekick. Great tool. But over all thankful that I found this forum to prevent me from getting scammed. I pray noone else gets scammed by them.
