A person RICHARD CHALUT claims to be Sales/Marketing General Manager with Electronicsmegastore. address: 69 Great Hampton St Birmingham B18 6EW UNITED KINGDOM.

Convinces people seeking to buy electronics gadgets (mobile phones etc) at very low prices on-line.

After money was sent for initial payment, he changed the story to say MOQ increased (twice initial order).

Supposed cargo to be sent via a non existant entity "yeilex.com" with a fake tracking number which has buyers address details believing freight on the way.

Story would change each time with with problems such as doumerage charges, customs duties in another country - Malaysia, etc and more payment would be demanded.

Aflter all payments made, no cargo would arrive. The fake website. "yelex.com" was also taken off the domain.

Be warned and report such to authorities
Person disappears with no trace.

You're being fleeced by one of the newer (relatively speaking) twists on the old ''419 Nigerian Scam''.

Your major tip offs:

- Will accept Western Union ONLY. This is done mostly to avoid prosecution via the USPS fraud statutes. Most legit enterprises happily take more than one form of payment for goods or services rendered.

- ''Too good to be true'' pricing... Another fellow here recently posted that someone tried to take him for a ride in an almost identical manner. The ''hook'' was the price on the 16Gig iPod he was offered, that being 200USD. A price that low is INSANE for that kind of hardware, and should be your first BIG clue you're being set up.

- E-mail address is a HOTMAIL address. Most reputable companies have their own merchant mail servers to handle customer inquiries, warrantee issues, returns and such. It's also more SECURE than using a hotmail or yahoo account, which can be hacked relatively easily. Besides, if it were a legit business, can you imagine the volume of incoming and outgoing mail... from a HOTMAIL account?? The thing would be overwhelmed.

- Delays, delays, delays... As with the Nigerian 419 scam, there's always some manner of delay, one more hurdle, one more payment... The big thing you'll notice, is that every one of these little ''hiccups'' in the ''transaction'' somehow mysteriously costs YOU money, not them. From reading your report, you've already figured this gem out.

- I'll bet you any money that if you had a chum go to the address this person CLAIMS to be doing business out of, you'd find an abandoned office or run down, vacant flat. This is just another part of the confidence scam, because the crook knows that people are going to be less leery of an address where the predominant population speak English and/or the overall population is predominantly white as opposed to some backwater village name in some far off, 3rd world country.

Best thing you or anyone can do is exercise common sense; if it sounds too good to be true, guess what? If you get an offer like this via email, delete it. If you wish, send it to your police department's Internet Fraud Division, but do NOT respond to the ''offer''.
