The Greek mobile number used as contact for Europe and Asia on the above reported fake site was the subject of an online complaint on AliBaba forum - JUL 27, 2016:

This person George Grammatikakis is the one in charge of all the scam operations here. And the company name is MARC ANDRE VERPRAT INVESTIS ENTREPRISE & and their website is www. global-exporters.com -- They are a total scam. SO i was robbed of $11,000 - 11 thousand dollars. Due to being a gold supplier and top of that after speaking to them for hours regards to their supplies and inventory I was convinced they will go with their words and make sure I get what i ordered. So I paid them 40% of my money after receiving the proforma invoice and the other portion after receiving the papers for bill of lading, and all necessary documents. But to come to know later on even all those papers were fake. They have their own fake shipping company called www. feslines.com --- Another scam. Also please be mindful of their phone number: +30 694 772 5250 - These people are doing the same cameroon pet scam method. So one may be wondering How i figured of their scam. So after I made all the payments. Couple days later they tell me your shipment is under custody and wont be released until you pay another $4000 for insurance. WHAT??? That doesn't even make sense. PLease spread the word. They stole $11,000 from me. I am a very poor person now. It was all my lifesaving's. I wish no one ever has to go thru this. Please report this scammer and other scammers to interpol, FBI, and whichever respective agencies.

What is connecting all the fake sites above ? All are using courier companies for (non)delivering what they are pretending to sell. The companies are as real as the products they promise to deliver.

How the scam works?

After finishing the dealings with any of the companies reported above to buy their products, the victims are getting contacted by the delivery company used by the seller. The delivery company is provides a tracking code identifying that specific parcel needs to be sent, allowing the victim to track the shipment from the supplier all the way to the destination. The companies need different types of papers to deliver the goods: certificates, authorizations and so on. All those papers need to be paid by the buyer. From one destination to another, the parcel is held by authorities for not having yet another paper needing another fee to be paid. There are lots of different types of pressures the scammers are using to convince the victims that each payment will be the last one.

In some cases - especially with the drugs sending - if the victim decides not to pay anymore, the scammers will even try to scare the victim by pretending they will be contacting the police, because the victim was buying illegal products. They are saying that if the victim don't want to pay, he/she will end up in jail. There is no limit as to how low the scammers will go to get more money from their victims.
