Thanks for posting this! I got the same exact message and decided to look it up just to be sure.
Just got an email of this sort from that address. Seemed fishy, so googled and yours was the first hit. What kind of scam are they running, do you know?
Thanks--

I just received a similar email this week from Sarah Engler, from another email. I googled her name and Clearwater Bay Stores and found your post, what happened to you?
Hi Lenny, I was recently contacted by this same Sarah I think and would like further info. I sent you an email.
Thanks!

Hi I sent you an email about this. I would like more info. Please contact me. Thanks!
Did she happen to want you to post them off the Clearwater Hong Kong?
Thank you for posting! It did not feel right all around. I had to google her and the shop she claims she will be opening soon. The things she wanted were my most expensive items. God Bless you for putting out the alert.
Just got a similar e- mail from Sarah Engler... thanks for posting this!

Thanks for posting this. The scammer is still active in year 2020!
I also just received a message from her. What exactly is the scam she's trying to pull?
Also similar experience. Sarah Engler starts by asking if you take credit card. Gave me store address FABcessories located in Hong Kong.
Was contacted by (?) Sarah Engler. She actually paid $3000 including express shipment, VAT, insurance cost extimate. using a credit card owned by a Carl _____ with billing address in South Dakota.n Probably stolen credit card.
She provided me a freight forwarding company TRANSAM International who quoted me shipping cost.
I was supposed to pay the freight forwarder approx $2000 in shipping costs upfront to pickup goods Sarah ordered. Looks sounds legit so far.
I backed out at this point because
1. credit card name was not Sarah Engler
2. If charge is disputed, I would be out $2000 and goods.
I refunded Sarah $3000 paid to me
Thanks for posting this. She is still at it, got this on Monday March 8, 2021:
Will it be possible for you to ship out your product, We don't order via the website for security reasons . Will it be better if I order via phone call or by email. Payment Terms is Visa credit card information.Can i send the items list Interested in.
Many Thanks,
sarah engler
Same bullshit, thanks for posting this. Received on April 27th 2021
She continues into May 2021 using sarahengler4647@gmail.com. 🙄
Well, she's still at it. Got the same email. Figured it was a scam because of the content - glad I could verify it here. Thanks guys!
hi Guys,

Scam Scam Scam.
Same exact information was sent to me. Thank you everyone for posting information.
It’s always best to go with our gut instinct.
I understand from others that with this type of scam, they will over pay you by “accident” then have you send them money back or personally pay for a freight cost ir something . You will see the money in your bank account and then they can reverse the payment and your out what ever the amount you so kind heartedly paid them.
Scam, Scam,Scam!
Thanks for looking out!
👍🏻
Just adding to the list of emails she's using. Got this email today.

Also, it is attached to these two emails, although I dont know what the connection of them are: mitchellhickson7@gmail.com, kolbeinninc2@gmail.com and Fabcessories Stores. Hopefully this helps someone else steer clear of this scam.
I am so grateful for all of you for posting. I just got the same exact letter from her, and this is August of 2021! It looked fishy, so I checked it out. Thank you for posting.
Got one myself. Aug 31st 2021
Well its 2021 & they are still going at it... I got the same email & got that scammy feeling right off the bat LOL- emailed them the following- Hello-
For security purposes we only accept online payments via our website. This is to avoid any scams or fraudulent orders.
Then went looking to see if the following email was used anywhere-
mitchellhickson7@gmail.com & thats when I found you guys. There was also this email as the reply- kolbeinninc2@gmail.com
Received this today. Same script, plus more :)

Likewise appreciate the tip off from all.
Received today 6 Feb 2022 from same Gmail as previous post. I responded unaware of the scam at first just stating orders are only accepted through my store website, no response. Glad I searched Google as it's not the usual messages I get.
Thank you so much more the post. I was about to ask the carrier however their website is showing different email address than this person, Sarah Engler, provided. Here's her full email, pretty much same old song like above samples. Again, keep on going for this alert! Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up. I was about to get scamming too with the same person, "Sarah Engler". The email that they provided is not listed on the carrier website. Trans AM Air & Sea, that's the reason I googled it, transs_amshipping@aol.com.
Here's her full email (minus our company info).

"Sarah Engler" is still at it in March of 2022. Got the exact same email earlier as a couple comments up and the email used is kolbeinninc2@gmail.com. Requesting us to a. Create a wholesale order with zero pricing info or setting up a wholesale account tipped us off first and b. Asking us to email a major, real, shipping company at an @aol.com email was like, um, no they have @fabcessories.com as their emails.
Scam, scam, scam!
Just got an email as well - 4.18.22
