Hello

I will like to order some balloons from your shop and below are all the
detail's you will be needing to get me some prices:

Qualatex balloons 9'' bag of 100 red flat (no helium) Qty 30
Qualatex balloons 11" bag of 100 white flat (no helium) Qty 40
Qualatex balloons 16" bag of 100 yellow flat (flat no helium) Qty 50



I hope to get some prices from the above listed balloons and out of curiosity I
will like to know if you take sur-charge when using credit cards?
Also note that,if you don't have the above mentioned balloons kindly get me the
sizes and prices of the balloons you carry!
I hope to hear back from you soon.

Regards.
Mr Carter

So any emails from this person I would treat with caution.

The way it is written sounds wrong to me.

Insist on cash up front before you consider ordering that amount?
Just my 2cents

There is a very similar email doing the rounds in the face painting community. They just email random face painters asking to buy large quantities of stock from their "shops". They obviously don't do their homework as most of the painters don't run shops of any description.

More than likely a scam and an overseas scam at that based on the wording. Very unlikely that it was written by someone who speaks English as their first language or at least I hope not!
