Posted on behalf of the targeted victim:

I did look for a kojic supplier in SA. I only made inquiry via
whatsapp to a company called Mokak General Trading. But i received an
email from MM FIRST CHOICE saying they have kojic powder and i must
send money via E Wallet. I became suspicious as why such a big company
im Eastern Cape will ask me for payment via E wallet. So i googled the
name of MM First Choice and i saw it as a Scam company.
I did not send payment.
Help yourself by helping others - report your scammer here.
Google can be your best friend;use it if you have doubts about someone met online. If someone met online only asks for money, no matter what reason, it´s 100% scam.

Quote from the initial post:

I only made inquiry via
whatsapp to a company called Mokak General Trading. But i received an
email from MM FIRST CHOICE


There is a company named Mokak General Trading legally registered in South Africa since 2018:

cipc.JPG


No annual returns have been filed for this enterprise since 2018. If that was not enough of a problem there is something else more troubling: their address.

198 SMIT STREET
BRAAMFONTEIN
JOHANNESBURG
GAUTENG
2001


The Central Technical College Braamfontein is located at that address... and they are an educational institution having no trading activities...

From the fake website:

Mokak General Trading (Pty) Ltd. is a dynamic and young company from Johannesburg (Gauteng, South Africa), which has been making a strong presence in export and supply business. We are rapidly gaining popularity as a dependable exporter and supplier of African rough lemon, yellow corn seeds, yellow corn, almond nuts, black pepper, cashew nuts, fresh cherry, fresh lemon, mulberry, white pepper, frozen mackerel fish, copper scrap, HMS 1 scrap, copper scrap, and A4 copy papers. A number of clients from our major markets like Africa, Asia, and Europe keep ordering and re-ordering for our high quality products.

Dear Valued Client ,
Thank you very much for your e-mail , i'am surprise to hear that the transaction wont go through , that is our ONLY company bank account that we have been operating with for many years , we use it for all our transactions , you are the only client who has come up with such feedback which we find very strange .We ship our face mask all over the world including USA and all our clients effect wire transfers to our account which is very easy .

In this case since your bank could not effect the transfer , the only option is for you to make your payments via WESTERN UNION , this is another payment option which most of our clients use because it is faster and the payment will be received same day , wire transfer takes 3 days for us to receive but with western union we can receive the funds same day and start branding the mask while booking freight and delivery with the freight agency .
Please confirm so that i can send you new invoice with our WESTERN UNION payment details .

NOTE: I have tried reaching you on phone but keeps going to voice mail, kindly provide your whats App contact digits for easy communications
