Hey vicki,
Juan said to send this on to you because it's all starting to sound a bit bizarre. Not sure we're allowed to charge 5000 euros to a credit card we get over the phone and then send it on to some random private logistics firm..

Hello,
Once again thanks for your swift response,i will send my credit card details to you and authorize you to
process a total of 7,000 Euro, 2,000 Euro would be used to secure the booking of the tables and the balance of 5,000 Euros
would be sent to my logistic agent who will be in charge of the logistic and travel arrangement he runs a private firm and does not have the basic facilities
to run a credit card,
The agent is in charge for:
--accommodation
-flights
-international airport transfer
-transportation logistics during their stay However,
because of security reasons and confidentiality reposed on you and because the agent does not have a credit card facility,
it was decided that ONLY YOU will handle the credit card information. I would have loved to pay in person but right now i am off on a contract.
Kindly get back to me with your direct cell number as to enable me send my credit card details to you as soon as possible.
Best Regards,
Best Regards,
Mr. Gordon Watson
Director Project Implementation
Anglo Gold Corporation.

Hi! Thanks for the post. You're most welcome. That's what we are here for. Gordon Watson is a notorious con artist. I doubt that's his real name. This is a money laundering scam that he tried to involve your company in. Most likely the credit card was stolen. I would report this to your local authorities.
