phone scam questions [RE-wrenches]

[William Korthof]

<x-flowed>
This morning I also received a call through an ATT internet phone
teleprompter service also requesting PV panels for Gambia.

I gave the caller a price for Sharp 123 modules and estimated
the shipping, she requested four panels to be shipped by Fed Ex.

She gave me three credit cards, to be billed 1/3 equally. The ship
and bill addresses were both in Africa. We still haven't verified if
our credit card processor can even process these charges.

I'd really like to reduce my risk of being scammed. If anyone has
more info, please broadcast.


Thanks, wk
