This individual claims to sell iPhones. He goes by the name BLAKE McCONNELL (Sales Rep) representing Home Delivery Direct Ltd (Registered No 06749287). His email address is order.homedeliveryltd@gmail.com. The offer appeared like a good deal and legitimate. Especially after I ran a check on Home Delivery Direct Ltd (Registered No 06749287), a company whose supposed owners are KEVIN MURRAY (Director) and HELEN LOUISE MURRAY (Secretary) located at: 16A THE AVENUE HORSFORTH LEEDS WEST YORKSHIRE LS18 5JW United Kingdom So I ordered 2 iPhones from them in their BUY 2 UNITS GET 1 FREE promotion and they offered me a discount. I paid for the phones via Western Union in the amount of $960 on Oct 17, 2012. The wire transfer was sent to PATRICIA LAMPARD who cashed it in minutes in Hyde, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. The Western Union MTCN# is 498-109-8341. The phones were supposed to be delivered on Oct 18, 2012 by overnight shipping but that never happened. All they did was to on keep asking for more money so the package can be released from customs. They sent me fake tracking information to convince me that the package is in the United Sates and I need to send more money. The information was: Web site: http://www.cargodespatchserv.com/ Tracking Number: 300809966787743. When I ran tracking on the website it stated that the item was shipped and is \"on transit\" to the USA. Then I became suspicious because of the bad English, misspellings and unclickable links on the website. Then I copied and pasted the first paragraph on the website onto Google search. The I found that two other websites with the exact same wording, pictures and outline exist. They are http://westwayserves.com/ and http://orientspeed.com/. That is when i realized that I was a victim of a scam. Please help. Anything you do will be appreciated. Here is their original ad that they posted on multiple classified websites: The New Apple iPhone 5 is available in stock in large quantity, It is brand new company class tested.
