Subject: Destroyed 95% of shipment

Review: I tried to get insurance and was jerked around with a website procedure they demanded I use as it gets them completely off the hook. The game is scandalous; they tell you to ensure the paperwork FROM THEM is used when the items are picked up. The truck driver works for a different company and says "I've got all the paperwork filled out just sign here" which costs you approximately 30% more. The person loading my cages has no idea of this and signs the paperwork the truck driver has. When they delivered my cages it was obvious they hot them HARD with a fork lift. They were so badly screwed up I salvaged 2 of 15. I consider it a total loss. And of course the paperwork was not filled out on the website for insurance so I was screwed. I really recommend you NOT use Frieghtcenter.com I wasted $900. TOTAL RIP OFF!!! Ken

Ken,

You are not the only person Matthew J. Brosious, Louis Capolino and D. Ben Cross have scammed. Report this to the DOT as well as the freight carrier you used and get their rates, tariff and MC authority revoked. You can add to the complaints with the BBB as well as the local television station there in FL: WFLA

Nigerian Bible Scam

by Barbara Brabec

Your church may be a target for scammers who want Bibles they can sell in Nigeria on the black market. A reader reports on a scam perpetrated on her church.

"A couple of years ago," writes Christine in North Carolina, "our church was contacted by an "Elder Israel Osawe" of Nigeria who asked if we could donate a couple dozen giant print KJV Bibles (new or used) for use by older members of his church who couldn’t afford to buy Bibles.

"He said they were actually searching in the trash dumpsters for these Bibles and, of course, that would strike a sympathetic nerve with churchgoers. It was my job to gather the Bibles. I maintained communication with this man by e-mail and he sent all kinds of e-mails about how they were praying for us, and how God had specifically revealed to them that our church would help them. What raised my suspicion was when, to my strong objection, they made me the international president of their ministry without even meeting me, and began begging me for money for canoes, bicycles, and a laptop computer.

"So I began some investigation on my own and actually found Israel Osawe's name on a scammer's web site. Thank God we found out this information before sending the Bibles or anything else for that matter. Until this happened, I didn’t know there was a black market for KJV Bibles in Nigeria. After arriving in Nigeria, the Bibles we almost sent would have been sold on the black market and the money would have been pocketed by the scammers."

Christine’s research revealed that this is a subgenre of the scam that uses fraudulent credit card information to order Bibles from Christian bookstores. And it’s a scam that continues today. "Even though there is not a great monetary loss in the above scam, the spiritual loss can be great for those compassionate individuals who are sending bibles to those who they feel need them," adds Christine.

After receiving Christine's report, I Googled Osawe’s name and came up with the following links. The third one was particularly interesting:

NigerianBiblesScammers.homestead.com

VibrationData.com - Visit this page to get a detailed account of how Edomwande Austine (or Austine Edomwande, as he often reverses it), posing as Israel Osawe, conned one Christian man to send not only a couple of batches of Bibles, but money for airfare to come to America. By reading the communications this particular man received, you can see how these *** artists cleverly play on people’s emotions over a long period of time. After they have built a level of trust, they begin to ask for more and more things while setting them up for the "kill" – the request for big bucks.

VibrationData.com/scam - On this Web page, you’ll find a chart of various scams using the Christian faith ("crimes of persuasion") with a summary of the e-mail scam and the country of origin.

REMEMBER . . . Nigerian *** artists are constantly preying on Christians, Christian book stores, and small businesses on the Web. Unfortunately, many tender souls fall victim to their schemes, often losing thousands of dollars in the process. Educate yourself to what’s going on here by reading these articles on my personal domain:
