Fake shipping company scam:
Welkin Global Shippers

How the scam works:

E-mails a company asking for a quote on a bulk purchase of product, uses broken English and usually a free yahoo or Gmail account with numbers after the email.
Gets a quote for the product but wants you to use their preferred shipping company.
They will place an order for the bulk product using a stolen credit card usually with a different address attached to the card itself. They will then direct you to the preferred shipping company of their choosing, this specific shipping company will not actually exist but will be owned by the scammers themselves.

They will have a legit looking website but with serious flaws after closer inspection.
For the example above:
1. Address of the location does not actually exist; a building but is abandoned / not in use.
2. The links to their alternate locations in the US do not go anywhere near the bottom of the page.
3. The website was registered on 6-17-22 but states they have been in business since 1985.
4. The google map directs to a different company located in Spain.
5. Nameservers.

After reviewing the nameservers you will see the domain name is owned by a Randy Mantse in Accra Ashanti in Ghana West Africa, with a phone number of 233.[protected] and email address [protected]@gmail.com.
You pay the fake shipping company usually thousands of dollars (for the product to be shipped to another continent) and then they disappear with the money. The credit card they used gets reported for fraud and the funds bounce back.

Desired outcome: The deletion of the website and prosecution of Randy Mantse in West Africa.
