A person named George Henry claiming to be from G & H Co in San Francisco, CA using this phone number (708-401-3451) tried to order via email over $8,000 in products from our company using a credit card. A red flag went up immediately. I told him that for new businesses ordering that large of an order, he would need to send a copy of his company business license or tax id and would need to pay via money order or cashier's check. He claimed to have had problems with money orders or cashier's checks in the past and if I couldn't accept his credit card for payment, then he couldn't proceed with the order. I looked up the address he gave me of 1187 Stockton Street, San Francisco, CA 94188 and it is in the heart of a Chinese district. I have also looked up this phone number and have found NUMEROUS accounts where this person has tried to order large quantities of random items from various companies and wanted to pay with credit card over the past year or more. This is a scam to attempt to fraudulently use someone's credit card. STAY AWAY! I contacted the police, but they said they can't do anything until a crime is actually committed. An attempt doesn't qualify. If you have been scammed by this person, please contact your local police department so that he and the ring that I'm sure he is part of can be brought to justice!
