Shipping scam. It’s a china based company using this address..beware!! The jewelry isn’t real.

I received a forwarded email message from a trusted friend who is aware we play the piano and wanted to share this good deal. The forwarded email stated that a recent widow was downsizing and interested in donating a Steinway Piano; the email indicated that we could look at it and then arrange a pick up date. I emailed the "owner" who went by Rachel Bate ([email protected]). Rachel emailed pictures of the Steinway Baby Grand Piano and stated that the piano was almost new, that it was her late husband's and stated that she had moved into an apt and provided her "mover's" contact details. She stated that the arrangements should be made today as she did not want to pay the storage any longer. The storage information and movers details that Rachel Bate provided were: Storage Ref #: AZEDGUNP77; Contact name: Bryan Jeffers; Contact Details: [email protected]; website: www.axonshippers.com. She added during the correspondence that she had used these movers for 6+ years and "pleased with their services." Bryan Jeffers, Warehouse Manager, Axon Shippers sent me three options to ship the piano. Bryan Jeffers also sent me a picture of a shipping crate with the print "Steinway Piano" and on top right "Axon Shipping." He stated that the crate was ready to be shipped, and upon request, I provided Bryan Jeffers with my name, delivery address, phone number, reportedly to prepare a shipping quote and invoice (Bryan Jeffers described himself as my "onboarding shipping assistant throughout the shipping process." Bryan Jeffers reiterated what Rachel Bate, the "owner" specifically that "the owner of the piano wants it out today so she won't have to incur extra storage fees."

Bryan Jeffers asked that I make payment to "enable the delivery to commence." Bryan Jeffers wanted me to send Zelle payment to: "Zelle ID: [email protected]; Zelle name: Jasper Vargas; Narration: AXON; Amount: $615.00." I attempted to make the payment via Zelle, however, this email address was not recognized by Zelle, so I did not continue. Rather, I cautiously informed them of the information and Bryan Jeffers apologized for the inconvenience and offered that I try to submit payment using the following number: 347.791.1513 and asked that I contact him when the transaction was completed. I realized that this was possibly a scam and ignored additional attempts the "shipper" and "owner" made to reach me to include additional emails and then phone calls. The "owner" Rachel Bate's who was copied in all the correspondence was complicit in this scam.

I did an online purchase through a private party on Facebook Messenger who said they would deliver. They used this service and I got a 'you need to give us $150 as insurance" message. I said that I didn't think that was going to happen, then the private party (Phillip Armstrong) said it was partly their fault this happened and said they would kick in $50. I went back and forth with Ultralogistics a few times and realized I was pretty sure I had been scammed.

I have multiple emails regarding a puppy, then was threatened over the phone from a shipping agency saying that I had to pay $1000 over apple pay for shipping or I was being reported. The man who called was Johnny Cook who owns the website for the puppy breeder. I informed him I knew it was a scam and not be sending money through apple pay and that I was filing this report. No contact since.

Paid FB page for chickens and included shipment. Contacted courier service after tracking number did not give me info. They asked me to pay $150 for insurance on chicken and was not told about this prior, said it was insurance and kept emailing me requesting money said it was refundable. I refused to do so and asked them to ship birds without insurance, they refused. Contacted vendor as well and have not heard back. Did separate report for vendor.

I listed engines for sale on a boat broker website. I was contacted via text by A man claiming to be Tom Stacey at Next Truck. He proceeded to ask questions about my listing, and appeared to have knowledge of the engines I was selling. Said he would Send a check for the amount I wanted for the engines plus an additional amount to pay the shipping company that would pick them up. the shipping company he told me was Eagle coast shipping inc. He told me the check had been mailed out on a Friday the 3rd and was supposed to arrive before the following Tuesday the 7th. He had arranged for the shipping company to show up on friday the 10th. the check finally arrived on Thursday the 9th. the shipping company contacted me on Wednesday the 8th confirming Friday the 10th pickup and asking my agreement to terms. Saying I would pay half the shipping to them upon pickup. half the shipping would have been $4435.00. I told the shipping company I had not received the check yet and would not consent to the shipping date if the check had not cleared. The check arrived and I went directly to my bank to deposit the check. There were some red flags when I opened the envelope with the check. the shipping address said it Came from ALTIA INC, 111 S TEJON ST. STE 204, Colorado Springs, CO. The Check said is was from 365 Strong powerlifting federation LLC. P.O. Box 253 Fort Mill SC, 29716. I took it to the bank to see what they thought, and they believed there were some obvious red flags. They were unable to verify the account number with the bank name on the check. So we are convinced this is a scam when they intentional delay the funds but set up a date with a 3rd party shipping company to try and get you to pay for the shipping before the check has been cleared.

Solicited my husband to do shipping from home work after locating his Indeed account. Pay offer was $2400-$3300 per month but did not make sense why they should ship products to him to then ship elsewhere. Seemed bogus to us.

I was referred to this company but another member of an online group to get parts from. The individual was prompt and sent pictures of the parts ahead of time. Supposedly packaged and shipped the parts via USA Express Mail (another scam company). Once they parts showed tracking from CA to Nashville TN, the shippers sent an email stating that they needed a $250 refundable insurance deposit to make the delivery. I contacted the shipper who eventually stated he would take care of it. Then the shipper stopped responding to my messages and blocked me. The shipping company wont verify they have a package and still want the deposit to deliver.
