GBI would like to report a fake website… I would like to report a fake website and scam that I encountered. The website in question is thewhiskydistributors I was searching for some rare scotch to add to my collection and came across this website. I added the items to my cart but during checkout, I was informed to call a helpdesk number (512) 920-2547. A person named Rodrick Ashad (clearly a pseudonym) answered and asked me to Zelle the amount to liljody223 This ID was registered with Rasheed Owens. After I Zelled the amount, I was asked to send screen captures of confirmation. Later in the day, after repetitive calling, they sent me tracking information from oceanlinksexpress (which is again a fake site). The next day, I received a text message from (925) 450-2172 (Michael Graber) saying that I needed to pay $495 for insurance which is refundable at the time of delivery. This money needs to be sent via Zelle to (914) 525-4172 (Eric Mark). This is when I stopped responding and realized that I had been scammed. There were so many red flags throughout this process but because I wanted that scotch, I ignored them. I am writing this so that no one else gets scammed from these thieves.

DEthe company is a scam I bought 2 bottles Macallan Editiong No1 in early January this year. A few days later I received the tracking number via email. After 3 days I got an email that I absolutely have to pay some refundable insurance. I first transferred the money after a week it came back. Then I transferred via Western Union. Then suspected fraud. People wanted to transfer via paypal under friend. I then stopped doing it and asked to cancel my order. Since then there has been no contact
