No lumber, no insulation, no OSB. How scammers cheat today when you want to buy building materials
No lumber - no money!
The first one calls and orders from the latter, the latter calls and arranges with the real seller, who, of course, presents himself as the customer. In this particular case, the client. From the last one. Order: insulation for 300 thousand. A convincing, knowledgeable, confident and pleasant female voice... Makes an order with a real vendor and offers to leave an advance payment(although not asked for) of 3 thousand - thereby probing the availability of payment through online bank, both from one and the other...
Having given the delivery address, she warns that she is not there, a worker will meet her there...
The lady calls the real customer back and informs him that the driver will bring the insulation, specifies the time, full name and password and adds that the driver and no more, he only delivers ... So "money to me - to the seller on the card"! She sings a similar song to the real seller... You bring it - we pay, you come - call... A scheme we have all come across and worked with time and again: Construction sites, customers, the one who pays - at work, at construction sites workers accept... everyone is used to it and everyone is comfortable paying online - nothing new, much less surprising. In the hour of X, a minute before the money transfer, when the driver was supposed to be left with nothing, thanks to the professionalism, sociability and vigilance of the driver, the clients were surprised to learn that he was a worker, and madam's scheme, not designed for an intelligent driver, goes to hell... the phones are disconnected. Curtain! "ONE IS" in any case would have been, yes deceived! In this case, knowing this driver for 12 years, he'll never leave a load behind without payback, even if they kill him - he'll drive away loaded! But how many of them are there? It's not hard to imagine what will happen next... There are many scenarios, but all without a happy ending. A scheme with ends in water. Cases like this are fixed more and more often in Moscow and Moscow region, when ordering lumber, insulation, OSB and other building materials. The cases told by the drivers, owners of the sawmills / factories and markets, as well as new customers contacting us, who are horrified to share the names and passwords of these "sellers / suppliers". Friends! In these difficult times, don't judge by the clothes on your back ... A seemingly simple, but very vigilant gazelle driver saved a man from losing 300 thousand! Be careful and call everybody 100 times yourself and check, especially when sending money somewhere... So here you can read Why any quality lumber can't cost two times cheaper!
