Does someone use the name of Royalmail for a cheat?

[resteportal2009]

Hello together,
I come from Germany and on my search for business partners I have got an offer from someone who say's, that he comes from Livewire Telecom Ltd and that he
use Royalmail for the delivery, so that Royalmail employees will confirm the rightness of the ordered goods.

I hope I am in the right forum..if not..I am very sorry.

This is the text I have gotten...can someone confirm it..it sounds like a cheat (is that method really possible?)..Thanks a lot,
Regards,
Thomas

Here the offer:

That's all I need to know to smell a scam, but yes. SCAM!

Royal Mail doesn't deliver in any other country as far as I know.
08457 740 740 Is the customer care number for Royal Mail, maybe they can help you.

If I received an email like that I would be very suspicious, a lot of his sentences don't make sense. Give it a miss if I were you

[pinstripe]

Sounds like a scam to me as well. If they were a genuine company they would have their own web-site with direct payments. I would not risk using this company.

Dodgy to say the least.

Four things:

The English is very poor in the email - a copy of which I received myself sometime ago and I deleted it.

Royal Mail do not act to confirm receipt on request only by online tracking. They do not and never will AFAIK send out confirmations.

We are a government organisation and therefore would have no need to use a Money Transfer agent.

We do not have a store. online or even offline - well we do buts its called the Post Office not Royal Mail store

ITS A SCAM PURE AND SIMPLE - delete the email and do not reply.

It is a scam, my friend.

But while you are here, can I interest you in saving money on your internet providings ?

I operate a highly-profitable internet service providings kompany and for the very small sum of just £8 per month, can supply you with hi speed 80Mb broadband servicings.

All I need is your credit card detailings and your 3-didgit PIN code, or you can send me a direct debit mandate and I will fill-in the monthly amount for you as part of my excellent servicings ...

[resteportal2009]

Thank you very much for your answers.

These reply's will confirm my first impressions...I will delete the email (it is very difficult to find trustful suppliers in the world I must say again and again)..but OK...thanks for your time.

I also received the same email from this person. Luckily I did my research and my gut instinct was not to send any monies from my research and this confirmed it for me. Too bad it is a scam because I would have loved to buy some of the products at the prices listed. Thanks for the info.

Could be worse - a email from Nigeria - don't even open them as it encourages them to send more , just delete them . The goods will be cheap - there isn't any

Surprised it didn't have Arthur Daley or Del Boy Trotter at the bottom .

Yep, Western Union = untraceable payment. Send any money via them and wave goodbye to it.
