Description
I worked with Alice Gerber in Germany. This is a very sophisticated scam group. They approached me to purchase products on my credit cards for them against payments I made to my cards using a bank account they provided. I only shipped Apple products to their recipient in Hong Kong after Bank of America told me the payments had cleared. Then 2 days later after I shipped product B of A came back and informed me that the payments were not authorized. . I shipped by FedEx. My local FedEx store failed to inform me that the shipping labels and commercial invoices TRADE IBAU provided did not have the actual shipping account number on them. Therefore I could not get the packages returned to my local FedEx store. Also the Commercial Invoices they provided stated used laptops worth $400.00 each which is illegal.
