It's a scam. They'll pay with a bogus credit card, and will want you to pay for the shipping in advance. They don't care about the flyers--they just want your shipping dollars. Have fun stringing them along, getting multiple credit card numbers, and reporting them, if that floats your boat, or just ignore the emails.

If you do it right, you will get two cards for the printing, and two cards for the shipping. Alert the bank immediately of course. Each time. THEN tell them there is no Western Union close, so you have the CASH waiting for the shipping company to pick up with the job. Whoo, that gets them upset.

Richmond, Laura has enlightened me to your order and I felt that since I own the company, I thought I should be the one to converse with my new friend Rev. Cyril Richmond of the Bronx, New York. I have a cousin in the Bronx, Vinny Rogers. My Cousin Vinny, he?s a good Catholic, works collections for the church, maybe you know him? My apologies for your inability to punctuate, capitalize, or form a sentence in a coherent manner. I heard the Public School system in New York was bad, but until now, I really had no idea. To help you understand what I?m saying better, I?ll type slower. On to the matters at hand?My sullen heart weeps thinking about those poor children at the OSU Orphanage Home, and I feel for them from the inner depths of my soul. I knew people who went to Ohio State University and in their selfishness, they never told me they had their own orphanage in Ghana! Bastards, all of them! Yes...Yes! I want to help you, dammit! This cannot, and will not stand! How dare the printers in your area not take advantage of helping the children and such a kind-hearted paragon of virtue as yourself! I'm just bewildered as I am belligerent about such impudent behavior. As for your friends at the Donewell shipping organization, I wonder if they are related to the Hampton Donewells? I knew ol? ?Ivy? Iva- ben Donewell. His little sister IdaMae who went by I.M. Donewell was a real sleep-around. They used to say in school, if you?ve been done by IdaMae, you?ve been Donewell. It only took four sessions of penicillin go forget IdaMae. Actually, Cyril, (may I call you that?) Upon reflection, perhaps we can help each other. To be truthful, Cyril, because I some how truly feel I can trust you, we really don?t do printing here, it?s just a cover. Actually, I run a large import export business operation between Columbia, and my home state of Florida. I need an off shore or international bank account to transfer and invest the millions of dollars incurred monthly. If you could help me, I know I can help you. Does this sound like something you can arrange for me, Cyril? I hope this does not scare you off as you seem like an honorable gentleman, and I wouldn't wish to insult you, but when all is said and done, you'll have so much money, you could buy tennis shoes for all the kids, not those cheap crappy ones you get in Africa, good ones, like Converse All-stars! If you're game, send me a bank account number and routing number so we can get started right away! I can immediately deposit almost $2.1 million U.S. into your account, and we can split it upon my arrival in Dubai (one of my favorite vacation destinations, by the way and I LOVE those islands shaped like a Palm Tree) I have several million in various US banks that I must dispose of in the next few months. As a show of my good faith, you may review and verify my current banking funds, routing numbers and all other relevant account information here: http://beam.to/BankAccount Log in: willowbrook Password:7388495 Please don't reveal that password to anyone, Cyril. I have the Lords faith in you. In exchange for your help, I'm willing to give 35% of all funds transferred successfully. Did you hear that, Cyril? 35%! Is that fair? Thank you, Cyril, so very much for being a God send to me in this time of need. I look very forward to working with you, chatting with you, and you know, getting to bond with you kind of like a brother. I feel this will be mutually beneficial for both, and all dreams will indeed come true upon our glorious new partnership. Heck, maybe somewhere along the line we can even help an orphan or two! Heh, Heh, Heh. ? I crack myself up. May God Bless you, and keep you safe for me. Respectfully, and totally faithfully yours eternal, Mr. Fred Rogers - CEO/President ?

Richmond, Laura has enlightened me to your order and I felt that since I own the company, I thought I should be the one to converse with my new friend Rev. Cyril Richmond of the Bronx, New York. I have a cousin in the Bronx, Vinny Rogers. My Cousin Vinny, he?s a good Catholic, works collections for the church, maybe you know him? My apologies for your inability to punctuate, capitalize, or form a sentence in a coherent manner. I heard the Public School system in New York was bad, but until now, I really had no idea. To help you understand what I?m saying better, I?ll type slower. On to the matters at hand My sullen heart weeps thinking about those poor children at the OSU Orphanage Home, and I feel for them from the inner depths of my soul. I knew people who went to Ohio State University and in their selfishness, they never told me they had their own orphanage in Ghana! Bastards, all of them! Yes...Yes! I want to help you, dammit! This cannot, and will not stand! How dare the printers in your area not take advantage of helping the children and such a kind-hearted paragon of virtue as yourself! I'm just bewildered as I am belligerent about such impudent behavior. As for your friends at the Donewell shipping organization, I wonder if they are related to the Hampton Donewells? I knew ol? ?Ivy? Iva- ben Donewell. His little sister IdaMae who went by I.M. Donewell was a real sleep-around. They used to say in school, if you?ve been done by IdaMae, you?ve been Donewell. It only took four sessions of penicillin go forget IdaMae. Actually, Cyril, (may I call you that?) Upon reflection, perhaps we can help each other. To be truthful, Cyril, because I some how truly feel I can trust you, we really don?t do printing here, it?s just a cover. Actually, I run a large import export business operation between Columbia, and my home state of Florida. I need an off shore or international bank account to transfer and invest the millions of dollars incurred monthly. If you could help me, I know I can help you. Does this sound like something you can arrange for me, Cyril? I hope this does not scare you off as you seem like an honorable gentleman, and I wouldn't wish to insult you, but when all is said and done, you'll have so much money, you could buy tennis shoes for all the kids, not those cheap crappy ones you get in Africa, good ones, like Converse All-stars! If you're game, send me a bank account number and routing number so we can get started right away! I can immediately deposit almost $2.1 million U.S. into your account, and we can split it upon my arrival in Dubai (one of my favorite vacation destinations, by the way and I LOVE those islands shaped like a Palm Tree) I have several million in various US banks that I must dispose of in the next few months. As a show of my good faith, you may review and verify my current banking funds, routing numbers and all other relevant account information here: http://beam.to/BankAccount Log in: willowbrook Password:7388495 Please don't reveal that password to anyone, Cyril. I have the Lords faith in you. In exchange for your help, I'm willing to give 35% of all funds transferred successfully. Did you hear that, Cyril? 35%! Is that fair? Thank you, Cyril, so very much for being a God send to me in this time of need. I look very forward to working with you, chatting with you, and you know, getting to bond with you kind of like a brother. I feel this will be mutually beneficial for both, and all dreams will indeed come true upon our glorious new partnership. Heck, maybe somewhere along the line we can even help an orphan or two! Heh, Heh, Heh. ? I crack myself up. May God Bless you, and keep you safe for me. Respectfully, and totally faithfully yours eternal, Mr. Fred Rogers - CEO/President ?

Today I wondered how we lasted so long. We use the cc services of our local bank. A percentage of each cc sale is taken by the bank for their services. They provide the cc machine which shares the telephone line used by our fax machine. There's seldom any conflict there. Don't be a cheapskate and look for cut rate systems. When ours goes down, maybe once in 18 months, the local bank has someone on our premises within the hour. Funds are deposited into our bank account at the close of business each day which beats invoicing, then sending statements, etc. We'll post maybe 3-5 transactions per day ranging from $5 to hundreds of dollars. We got into cc's for the same reason - a large national customer wanted us to accept their corporate Amex card for payment. The customer later left the area but the residual benefits have made it worthwhile. Go for it.

It's just so convenient. Swipe the card and the money is in your bank account. I'm assuming the company requesting this is a large company. If so, I'd not recommend Pay Pal. It makes you look like you're really not in business for the long haul. There will be an expense for you terminal. You can rent or buy. Some banks will give you one, but don't let that fool you. You will be paying for it one way or the other. Try to find a vendor that does not charge transaction fees, or fees for reports. What good is a low discount rate if each transaction carries a $2 transaction fee, then a $50 report fee at the end of the month. There are services that don't charge these. FWIW we use Federated, and are quite happy with them. No little extra fees.
