As some of you may know, I own a transmission repair shop.
I have seen many of the nigerian type scams, but this is the first one I have ever gotten directed at my line of work.
What s the deal with them wanting me to bill their credit card?? I know this is a scam, but what s the angle??? Here s the email----
