I 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.

These people are thiefs and are… These people are thiefs and are scammers! Took my money and wanted more money to pay by Zelle to some A-Hole in NY for insurance. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE CROOKS!
