Playing A Scammer Involving G Freight Company, David Marvel And The Ordering Of Organic Bumpy Walled Banners For Blue Walls
We received an unusual email from “David”, wanting to buy some banners. A while ago, when I was surfing the net, I came across a website where they had fun with scammers. So, when I saw the email from David, I thought to myself, “Well, I wonder just how far I can go with this guy?”. I enlisted the help of my good friend Elta, who is just as crazy as I am, and started the adventure.
To give you a heads up, the way this scam is suppose to work is, “David” orders banners, but wants us to pay the shipping company of his choice, and then he will pay us for the shipping and the order. He claims the shipping company will pick up the order too! Now if I had fallen for this, I would have sent the “Shipping Company” money, but then of course they would never come to pick up the order, and “David” of course would not have sent us the money for shipping and the order.
Needless to say, although this is a very long post, I do think you will enjoy it. There were times when I tried to read some of the emails to Will, but I was laughing so hard I couldn’t talk.
I used Pecker’s name ( Our squirrel friend)….. I hope you enjoy 🙂
David = blue
Crazy Lady & Elta = black
“Shipping Company” = red
I have also bolded some of the “important” parts!

Hello David,
Your email regarding pricing and information on banners was forwarded to me as I am the manufacturer, supplier and spinner of all banners in Canada. Our prices for banners depend on the size of banner you would like to purchase, as well as where you will be placing the banner. Banners against blue walls are slightly more expensive than ones against white walls. It all has to do with the type of dye we must use to have them stand out against the wall. Also, if banners are going against a wall, will they be flat walls, or bumpy walls? Banners for bumpy walls are harder to manufacture, so they cost a little more than flat walled banners.
Flat walled banners for blue walls range in price from $350.00 (USD) to $18,999 (USD) each depending on the size of the banner you would like.
Flat walled banners for white walls range in price from $250.00 (USD) to $15,999(USD) each depending on the size of the banner you would like.
Bumpy walled banners for blue walls range in price from $850.00 (USD) to $28,999 (USD) each depending on the size of the banner you would like.
Bumpy walled banners for white walls range in price from $650.00 (USD) to $25,999 (USD) each depending on the size of the banner you would like.
Now if you order 2000 or more banners at a time, we can give you a 10% discount. As to method of payment, we accept all major and minor credit cards, but if paying with a minor credit card we will need photo ID (photo ID must be taken with a green background and you must wear a yellow shirt with no more than 2 shirt buttons undone).
Please let me know how you’d like to proceed.
Thank you,
Pecker Lewis

I want the Bumpy walled banners for blue walls range with the size 3’x8′ 13oz,can i have the price?

Hi David,
Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I had to go across the street to our warehouse to check what banners we have in stock. So, I have checked our inventory for the 3’x8′ 13oz Bumpy walled banners for blue walls and we seem to
be out of that size right now.
What I can offer you are the Bumpy walled banners for blue walls in size 4′ x 36′, 4oz. I know that is a little larger than what you wanted, but I talked to Mr. Cutter from our Scissor Department, down the road, and he assured me that if you really need them to be 8′, that we can also sell you a pair of Plastic Gold Plated Scissors for you to cut the banner to the exact size you need. I asked Mr. Cutter if he would be able to give you a deal on the Plastic Gold Plated Scissors, soon as it is not your fault that we do not have the exact sized Bumpy walled banner for blue walls that you want.
The price for a pair of Plastic Gold Plated Sizzors is $299.00 (USD), but I am very happy to tell you that Mr. Cutter is willing to give you 50% off the regular price. It will only cost you $149.50 (USD). That is a great savings for you David!
I will quote you the prices for the organic and non organic Bumpy walled banners for blue walls. Please note that organic Bumpy walled banners are made from special silk threads, spun from Grey Squirrel Cow Dung. The Grey Squirrel Cow’s are feed only a diet of French Strawberry Peanuts, flown in from France, once a week. The dung from the Strawberry Peanuts, give the Bumpy walled banners, just the right flow to hang nicely on bumpy walls.
Organic Bumpy walled banners for blue walls in size 4’x36′ 4oz – $9999.00 (USD)
Non Organic Bumpy walled banner for blue walls in size 4’x36′ 4oz – $7999.00 (USD)
We also have a special on our Winter Yellow Snow Spray. Mr. Marvel I highly recommend you also buy some of our Winter Yellow Snow Spray. This is special spray to help protect your banner from the elements. It is made from only the highest quality of yellow snow. One bottle will coat one 4′ x 36′ Bumpy walled banner for blue walls, and it is only $399.99 (USD) per bottle.
Before I can quote you a price I need to know if you want the Orangic Bumpy walled banners for blue walls in size 4’x36′ 4oz or the Non Organic Bumpy walled banner for blue walls in size 4’x36′ 4oz. How many Plastic Gold Plated Scissors you would like to buy. Mr. Cutter said if you order 100 he will give you 1 for FREE! How can you beat that?
Do you want to buy the Winter Yellow Snow Spray? If so, how many?
Thank you David,
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi David,
Before I contact G freight company, I have to figure out the total weight of your order. You did not mention wanting to order any Winter Yellow Snow Spray or Plastic Gold Plated Scissors. You also did not mention how many Organic Bumpy walled banners for blue walls in size 4’x36′ 4oz that you wanted to order.
To make this easier for you, I will just assume that you want:
50 Organic Bumpy walled banners for blue walls in size 4’x36′ 4oz
100 Plastic Gold Plated Scissors – Remember ordering 100 gets you 1 Plastic Gold Plated Scissor FREE!
50 Winter Yellow Snow Spray – one for each Bumpy walled banner
David, you will need nails to hang your banners with, and you are in luck because just last year we opened up an Elta Nail Department in our warehouse. Unfortunately though, the CEO of Elta Nails, Mr. Brad, is on vacation right now, somewhere on a cruise ship. He was due to return last week, but must be having such a good time, that no one has heard from him since he was around the Greecian Islands.
You are in luck though, because before Mr. Brad left for his vacation, he wanted to get a tan, so I accompanied him to the tanning studio. I tell you though, David, talking nails with a butt naked tanning man was a little weird. But we did have a great talk about nails, and he authorized me to take over the Elta Nail Department while he is gone. Good thing too David, soon as we have no idea when hewill contact us.
Elta Nails are our number 1 seller, and can be rather pricey, especially if purchased for the Organic Bumpy walled banners for blue walls. Unfortunately though, they don’t work as efficient if covered by the Winter Yellow Snow Spray! So, I suggest you purchase the cheaper ones, but you will need to purchase 3x as many, since the cheaper one’s only hold a certain amount of weight. I will just add how many nails I think you will need to your order David.
Would you like your order wrapped in paper, plastic, or bubble wrap for shipping? My recommendation, David, is that you go with Bubble Wrap. Trust me, your clients, James & Jane Company Ltd., will thank you for all the bubble wrap that they will get to play with after they are finished hanging their banners! The price of air to fill the bubbles is extra. Also, for such a large order, we will have to hire 10 more monkeys to blow air into each bubble in the bubble wrap. Do not worry though David, we have received permission from the SPCA and no monkeys are ever harmed while blowing air into each bubble in the bubble wrap.
So before I contact G freight company for shipping costs, please review and confirm your order.
50 Organic Bumpy walled banners for blue walls in size 4’x36′ 4oz – 50 x $9,999.00 = $499,950.00
100 Plastic Gold Plated Scissors 100 x $149.50 = $14,950.00
50 Winter Yellow Snow Spray 50 x $399.99 = $19,999.50
2500 Elta Nails – $5.00 x $2500.00 = $12,500.00
250 meters of Bubble Wrap – $1,500.00
10 Monkeys – 10 x $100.00 = $1000.00
42 lbs of Air – $3699.50
Calculation fees – $1,000.00 – David those were some big numbers to add up, and I had to recruit 20 other people, because I only have 10 fingers and 10 toes.
TOTAL ORDER – $556,599
TOTAL WEIGHT – 8000 lbs
Mr. Marvel, I will wait for your confirmation on this order before I contact the shipping company.
Thank you,
Pecker Lewis

Hello,
I am writing to you in regards to shipping costs. Mr David Marvel has highly recommended your company. Mr. Marvel’s order will be wrapped in bubble wrap and will weigh approximately 8000 pounds.
Please advise me on how you will be shipping this order to Mr. Marvel’s customer in Bergen, Norway. Will it be traveling by truck, or will you be putting it on a cruise ship? I’m a little worried, if it will travel by cruise ship, that the order might get wet. If this is the case, we will have to spray the bubble wrap with Water Repellent Bee Urine. This is very special spray and quite costly, as it is very difficult to collect bee urine. I hope your company does not have a problem paying this extra cost, or would you rather I add it to Mr. Marvel’s bill.
Thank you,
I look forward to your reply.

Hi David,
Just to let you know I have sent an email to the shipping company to request a quote. I was a little concerned about how they would be shipping your order. If by cruise ship, we will have to spray the bubble wrap with Water Repellent Bee Urine. I have asked the shipping company to pay for this extra charge, but if they won’t, then you will have to pay it.
It will be about $3,999.00 extra for the Water Repellent Bee Urine. I hope this additional cost will not be a problem. Once I hear back from the shipping company I will contact you.
Thank you,

Hi David,
There seems to be some confusion. You want to order 50 Organic Bumpy walled banners for blue walls. Each banner cost $9999.00. Just for the banners the cost is $499,950.00. Then you will need the following as well:
Plastic Gold Plated Scissors
Winter Yellow Snow Spray
Elta Nails
Bubble Wrap
10 Monkeys
42 lbs of Air
Then there is the $1000.00 for Calculation Fees.
Why are you only mentioning the banners? I went to a lot of work to get you the other supplies as well. Please do not tell me I have wasted my time! I’ve already bought plane tickets for the 10 monkeys that I need to hire to blow air into the bubble wrap. David, it is not easy to get monkeys to come to Canada! They will be arriving from Africa on Thursday. Plus, because we have not had that much snow this year, and the fact that Canada now has a limit on how many dogs a person can own, well manufacturing Winter Yellow Snow Spray is quite difficult now. You need to buy it while we still have it in stock!
The total cost for your order, without shipping is $556,599.
Please advise if you are going to continue with your order.
Thank you,
Pecker

Hi David,
I’m sorry, but we can not accept orders for only one banner. Each order is custom made, so you must order a minimum of 20 banner. We also care about the well being of our banners, they are like part of our family, and insist that clients also buy the Winter Yellow Snow Spray to protect the banners from the elements. This is our policy. This is not an option, it is a must! If you do not purchase the Winter Yellow Snow Spray, then I can not do business with you! If you are not wanted to have your client pay for the shipping of the Winter Yellow Snow Spray, we would be happy to spray all the banners before we wrap them in bubble wrap. This will only cost an additional $999.00 per banner ordered. And before you think that is expensive, let me tell you, that is a bargain! Each banner must be sprayed twice. So we spray, rinse, then repeat. Think of it as washing your hair. Minus the cream rinse.
G Freight did email me back, but they did not supply a quote yet. I will not bother the good people at G Freight again until I have your commitment to purchase at least 20 Organic Bumpy walled banners for blue walls and 20 bottles of Winter Yellow Snow Spray.
I await your reply.

Hi David,
G FREIGHT SHIPPING COMPANY has quoted the shipping at $10,153.50. The following is a break down of the shipping costs:
Air Shipping: $6989.20
Pick Up: $990.10
Taxes: $350.11
Handling: $666.09
Custom Duties: $1158.00
Shipment Total: $10,153.50
I see they are going to charge you $990.10 for pick up! That is expensive. I know a guy who knows a guy that has a cousin who knows a guy that will pick up your order, and deliver it to G Freight Shipping for $50.00 and a case of beer. He likes Budwiser. That my friend will save you about $920.10 on your shipping. Do you want me to give Bubba a call and see if he is available? Oh wait. This quote is good till 22/02/2012. David we have a problem!
The shipping company has requested that the order be wrapped in Paper Bubble Wrap. With Organic Paper Bubble Wrap, we are getting into a whole new area. I had ordered 10 Brown Monkeys to blow air into the bubbles in the bubble wrap, but that was for plastic bubble wrap. Paper Bubble Wrap is special and these monkeys can not do the job. Now I am going to have to locate the rare, and special breed of ORIGAMI Paper Folding Monkeys! These monkeys are so rare to find, and they are only in China and hide out in the Lotus plants! I am now going to have to hire a Registered/Certified Origami Monkey Breeder to capture 10, and fly them to Canada. This will cost an additional $5000.00.
Is your client willing to pay the extra money?

Hi David,
Sorry I did not reply sooner. I did not realize that you wanted us to pre pay the shipping for you, so I had to talk to my boss about this. Of course I had to sit there and listen to 4 hours of him talk about the ovarian cyst that he had to have surgery for last year. David have you ever had an ovarian cyst? Sounds rather painful! Anyway….
I will have to transfer your order down to the Pre-Paid Shipping Dept. in Likeawanna DDcup, Canada. Due to numerous scam artists, the Pre-Paid Shipping Department oversees all the accounts that request shipping be paid on their behalf. For an order of this amount, and the price of shipping requested from the G freight Shipping Company, I can only guess on my part that the request will be denied by our Pre-Paid Shipping Dept.
We do however, have a Department of Loans, where I would gladly forward your order for loan processing if you wish. Our loan fees are 35%, require a copy of your DL, passport, a copy of your mortgage papers, title to all your vehicles and of course your first born child. The interest is compounded daily on the balance. The loans must be repaid within 30 days, however for an additional fee of 150% of the daily balance, we will give an extension of an additional 30 days.
We take our company here very seriously, and take pride in the satisfaction of all customers.

Hi David,
Thank you for your kind words about my Boss.
I took the order and shipping bill over to the Pre-Paid Shipping Department, and they noticed a mistake on the bill. Oh David, I forgot about the “LEAP YEAR TAX”! That tax has to be added on every 4 years when the Leap Year hits the calendar. Geez, with all we have had on our minds, how could I have forgotten that tax? The Leap Year Tax is calculated by adding the past 4 years 365 X 4 = $1460 minus the special deduction of conceiving during a Leap Year, (this tax is only added to those who have children. 1 child = $50.00, 2nd child = $150.00, 3rd child = $300.00, 4th child (and any additional children) $1,000. We need to know if you or your clients have kids now. Are you married with children? Or are you single with children?
I did wonder why you have the last name of Marvel. Are you related to the Captain Marvel Comic Book Characters? If so, well, then that puts you in a complete different TAX bracket! You would then be taxed as a cartoon/fictitious character, such as the Incredible Hulk. Hmmmm.. That made me think on that one. David BANNER??? The Incredible Hulk….David Marvel……(Captain MARVELS kid who wants to buy BANNERS?) Is there a connection here David? Do I need to contact the TransContinental Fictional Super Hero’s Task Force for Investigational Purposes, to find out if you really are related to The Incredible Hulk?
Please advise so we can finalize your total bill and pay the shipping company,

Sorry to hear that you have lost your Credit Card. I lost my Credit Card once, and you would not believe where I found it. We had a large order for 68 Organic Green Flat Walled Banners For Pink Walls. We had to hire 23 green eyed people for this order, as you can not have blue eyed people working on Organic Green Banners. Anyway David, I went to the bathroom on a Tuesday, I think it was about 10:00am, and wouldn’t you know, my credit card fell out of my wallet when I was paying the bathroom dude. Do you have bathroom dudes there David? Don’t know what we would do without our bathroom dudes here. They are great.
Have you looked everywhere for your Credit Card? Try calling the sewer people. Maybe your credit card fell in the toilet too, and is on its way to the ocean via the sewers. If they have not seen it, I would get a hold of all the captains of ships and ask them to keep an eye out for your credit card floating around in the ocean somewhere. Anyway, I talked to my boss, and he said we can not pay the shipping charges unless you give us a Credit Card. But do not worry David!!!!
I, Pecker Lewis, will be happy to pay the shipping company for you from my own personal account. I feel like you are my long lost brother David. I feel so close to you. I actually think I love you. And don’t get all weird on me now. I do not love you like I love my dog. I love you like a brother, man. Do you feel the same way about me?
Now I will ONLY pay for your shipping out of my personal money if you will consider me your Brother From Another Mother. I would not do this for a stranger, only for family….
David is that ok with you? Please refer to me now as “Pecker, My Brother From Another Mother” and I will refer to you as “David, My Brother From Another Mother”.
Thank you so much David for trusting me with the shipping charges for your order. My boss says the order should be ready Friday. Once the order is ready I will contact the shipping company and make arrangements for payment and pick up.
Love,
Pecker, Your Brother From Another Mother

Dear Sweet David, My Brother From Another Mother,
I have very bad news, but you will be so happy to know that I am still alive and have made it through the chaos! Oh David, My Brother From Another Mother, it was terrible! And the worst part is we will be unable to fill your order right now!
The monkeys accidentally got loose in the warehouse, got a hold of the Winter Yellow Snow Spray and the Plastic Gold Plated Scissors, glued all the nails to the bubble wrap, and tore the banners to shreds! David, My Brother From Another Mother, I am now stuck with 10 monkeys all with mullet haircuts…… and an entire warehouse in chaos!
My boss came in, and told me I now have to lay off all my employees, close my business, ALL because of the your order. Thank David, My Brother From Another Mother, for ruining the ECONOMY here in Canada, and making all my employees homeless, and the worst part, now I can’t return the monkeys for a refund!
It’s a shame the monkeys got so angry and trashed the entire warehouse. It’s hard finding good monkey employee’s these days! Usually the only one’s who want to take the job of paper folding, have a bad case of arthritis, and they end up making a lot of mistakes, which cost more money when you have to order new rolls of organic paper bubble wrap. Those younger Origami Monkeys are the worst spoiled little brats…….they expect the ‘special banana’s without bruises’.
I just don’t know what I am going to do now David, My Brother From Another Mother. I don’t know what I am going to do with all these monkeys! Those monkeys won’t be able to work since I don’t have enough Origami Paper Bubble Wrap now to keep them employed until 2014, and when Origami Monkeys are unemployed, they aren’t very happy!
However, not is all lost David, My Brother From Another Mother. I have GREAT news.
Easter is coming, so, if you like I can send you our Easter Catalog. We have beautiful Easter Pastel Bumpy Walled Organic Eggwashed Banners in Light Pink, but you would have to order them right away, because they go the quickest at Easter. Oh and you will also need the Hare Of The Rabbit Repellent Spray for them, to keep the eggwash from running.
Oh, David, My Brother From Another Mother, I am so happy that you are part of my family now.
Please advise me on how you would like to proceed.
Love,
Pecker, Your Brother From Another Mother
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Hi Cathie
What a fantastic idea! I just delete once I see the first grammatical or spelling error ( which is usually right away) but I am going to have my own fun now. What a terrific read and I just killed myself laughing! I will keep reading this over and over to see how you managed to beat this guy at his own game. Just too funny and good on you girl. Hope I can be as creative as you . I shall look at these things as not an annoyance, but as an oppotunity to enjoy myself…thanks a bunch.

Too much time on your hands!

Thanks for your post. I feel pretty stupid as I almost got caught in the same scam myself. Different name, same shipping company, same fraudulent address. The funny thing for me is that he gave a credit card number but no indication to give the shippers a money order. Wouldn’t ring it through in case it’s stolen anyway.
Thanks again for saving me a big hassle (though admittedly I am not nearly as creative as you in dealing with it)

Got the same message from the David above inquiring on nameplates. From the message I was sure it was a scam, so I searched him and found your post. Thank you!
This was my reply to David:
Hello David,
Your email regarding pricing and information on nameplates was forwarded to me as I am the manufacturer, supplier and spinner of all nameplates in England. Our prices for nameplates depend on the size of nameplate you would like to purchase, as well as where you will be placing the nameplate. Nameplates against blue walls are slightly more expensive than ones against white walls. It all has to do with the type of dye we must use to have them stand out against the wall. Also, if nameplates are going against a wall, will they be flat walls, or bumpy walls? Nameplates for bumpy walls are harder to manufacture, so they cost a little more than flat walled nameplates.
Flat walled nameplates for blue walls range in price from $350.00 (USD) to $18,999 (USD) each depending on the size of the nameplate you would like.
Flat walled nameplates for white walls range in price from $250.00 (USD) to $15,999(USD) each depending on the size of the nameplate you would like.
Bumpy walled nameplates for blue walls range in price from $850.00 (USD) to $28,999 (USD) each depending on the size of the nameplate you would like.
Bumpy walled nameplates for white walls range in price from $650.00 (USD) to $25,999 (USD) each depending on the size of the nameplate you would like.
Now if you order 2000 or more nameplates at a time, we can give you a 10% discount. As to method of payment, we accept all major and minor credit cards, but if paying with a minor credit card we will need photo ID (photo ID must be taken with a green background and you must wear a yellow shirt with no more than 2 shirt buttons undone).
Please let me know how you’d like to proceed.
Thank you,
Jill Kast

Ha! Jill that is great. And glad you recognized it as a scam. When I checked this “guy” out, I found a lot of people that had actually been scammed by them 🙁 . If you decide to “play” with him, let us know how it goes. I had a lot of fun with this guy, as you can tell.
