Apparently Philip’s on a bit of a spending spree with someone’s credit card details and he’s obviously celebrating, here’s another one of his emails :

He’s been a pretty busy guy as you’ll see if you search out his email address here
So if you happen to get any emails form Phil, just ignore them, never respond to them, as then the scammers will know that particular email address is active and then no doubt you’ll be inundated with further scammers emails.

This guy also just did the same thing to our company. Wanting to purchase rare audio tapes through our supplier. He even provided us with copies of credit card and DL. When a portion of the charges were reversed we became nervous. Our credit card processor even verified that it was a valid card. Very scary!!. At least we caught it before we lost more than the credit card fees to process. Look out for this guy…he is looking to take small business for large amounts of cash. We are a very well known business in our area and will be spreading the word down here.
