Latest news on the fraudsters, who claim to work for legitimate wine companies, try to order wine and then disappear with the wine but without paying.
'Just wanted to inform of you of the latest scam apparently the initial emails seem to come from Slovakia, hence the SK at the end of the email address.
Currently the fraudsters are using the following names and companies:
Eric Thorman of Thorman Hunt or Berry Bros or Richards Walford and Co Ltd, John Palmer of Alcohols Limited, Paul Avines of Thorman Hunt or Berry Bros, Peter Rubell of Berry Bros & Rudd, Dave Harris of Wine and Beer World Limited, and Jefferson Dee James of Wine Inns Ltd Belfast.'
See also a story on decanter.com last Friday on producers being stung by these fraudsters.
plus a posting on Leon Stolarski's blog on bogus orders and wine fraud.
plus a new entrant – a Dave Green who claims to work for Hayman Barwell Jones (HBJ Wines). This company went into administration on 15th January 2009 and is now called Wine Company Realisations Ltd.
