I just love getting these. The scam is very simple – to try to buy very heavy merchandise using stolen credit cards. However, you have to arrange for the shipping with their preferred (fake) shipping company. You’ll be asked to pre-pay the shipping cost with Western Union and add that to the credit card bill. Then you ship the product, the credit card is denied and you’re out the product and the shipping costs. What makes these so amusing is that the scammers are so desperate and dumb that they will go along with anything you say. So they’re quite fun to fuck with. This one is from “Nick” who apparently confuses my name with the product.

Why yes I do.

We have three types in stock right now.

Brazilian Clay that’s best for earthen work and has a deeper red tone to it.
It’s $5.95 per pound

A Mongolian Clay that’s best for porcelain work due to it’s high porcini content (that’s where the name porcelain comes from)
It’s $8.95 per pound

Indonesian Clay that has a high plasticity due to naturally occurring enzymes and phyto-nutrients
It a bit expensive at $12.99 per pound.

Are you interested in any of these?

Yes we take all major credit cards and ship anywhere in the world.

Sorry Nick,

I talked it over with our insurance department and I’m going to have to pass on your order. We’re not shipping to Haiti right now. Our last batch of clay was stolen by looters and never made it to the buyer. When it was found a week later most of it had already been made into poorly made pinch pots and wobbly coil mugs. The insurance company said that since the clay had been modeled, glazed, and fired it was no longer the same product and therefor no longer covered by our policy! Apparently there is a black market for everything including ceramic supplies. Haiti is too unstable right now.

Thanks,
