Overpayment Scam
|  +1 Untitled Overpayment Scam , ref:21183 This person emailed me saying she/he wanted to buy Arbonne products from me(I am a consultant)but she/he claimed to be deaf so would only correspond via email. She/he was placing a sizeable order and claimed that the payment was being sent in the form of a certified check that her financial adviser over payed more than a thousand dollars! In my business if a person wanting to purchase products from you puts their zip code in our website it will direct them to the closest consultant(so \"Kimber\" just punched in a random zip I suppose)and being that way we can meet our clients at coffee shops or other public places and talk about products, give samples etc. Well when \"Kimber\" was not even responding about my offers to meet up, especially considering that I was going to have her excess money(at the time I was on the fence, seemed fishy but I was giving her the benefit of the doubt). But that is what tipped me off...I realized she was a scammer and confirmed it was a scam going around Arbonne and other such businesses like Scentsy and Jamberry. Her supposed daughter\'s name is Stacy Lampman, who she claimed she was getting the products for. I cut her off and let her know I was aware of what she was doing and she still sent me a confirmation number for this check that is supposed to arrive tomorrow which will be trashed immediately. SCAMMER!! And a bad one at that... |

I think this over payment scam is because the checks are stolen or fraudulent in some way...
