"shipping agent", "hearing impaired", and odd grammar are all the classic signs of a SCAM.

Give her the number to the local police station.

Just had a scam that appeared to be really legit from PayPal, get me, but I checked the email before.

The email states to reverify all payment information as my account was suspended until I updated or reverify all cards and their information. I stopped and looked at where the email came from to see that the address was paypal@noreply.com and that set a red flag up for me.

Can't imagine how many people would have just filled their. Add info and got scammed.

Classic. I get the ones in my email all the time about someone's left hundreds of thousands of dollars and we can claim it simply by giving them our personal info

This particular one for rugs has been doing the rounds for at least five years.

Later, they want your account details so they can put money in your bank.


Contact an FBI guy, (because it goes over borders & they are using a telecommunications platform to scam), and forward the email to them.

Let them play with them.
