Good morning to all. This article is in my local paper this morning and I thougth I share it with everyone that owns a business. I don't own a business but I know a lot of you do. Be careful!!!

This has been going around for a couple of years or more. I can't believe someone actually fell for it.
I know!! I've read about it here long time ago and then I was shocked to read this article in the paper this morning!!! shame on the people that do it! God's really gonna be mad at them 
Is it just me or does that cake not look like it's worth $1520 (2500-980 shipping)? I certainly wouldn't pay that much for it.
Also, I don't get the scam? Am I missing something? Both the cost of the cake and the shipping get charged to a stolen card AND no one picked up the cake so how does the crook benefit??
Yes the cost of the cake & shipping cost gets charged to the fake card, but meanwhile the bakery has send the $1000 (I think that was it) to the "shipping company", so they will come oick up the cake. They never do of course and the scammer has just made $1000.
Any business that would fall for this has not got their eyes open. If it seems too good to be true people, then it is!

The baker wired the money to the delivery company, which is a fake set up by the theives...
"The buyer, who said his name was Steven Nicole, was from Toronto. He gave her a charge card for the cost of the cake and the $980 in shipping. He then asked the bakery to pay the shipper directly by Western Union. She wired the dough."
