Default Frank Johnson Church of Children SCAM

Below are the emails we received for an "Order" from Mr Johnson
Credit cards were a NO MATCH with the issuing banks(meaning the card holder info didnt match the info supplied by Mr. Johnson)
Please be aware of the large quantity orders and especially to outrageous shipping destinations. If its too good to be true it usually isnt.
The cc#s have now been blocked so hopefully the poor souls that own those cards wont be victimized.
The shipping company must be a fake. Mr. Johnson recommended them and I cannot find any info on them. Only contact info was email addy supplied by Mr. Johnson. He finally gave up when we asked for a USA drawn cashiers check.

We didnt lose anything except my timeand wasting his. Notice the email addy. GMail is becoming more popular.

Initial Email: On 3/27/08, frank johnson <makola0249@gmail.com> wrote:

This IP is hijacked from the sender and therefore is dangerous for scam activities.

Hijacked is a server who is "prisoner" and call them " a blackhole server ". Messages are coming through this server to cover real sender.
Don't worry messages have already reported to authorities.

Needless to say when I saw TOGO, I was skeptical so I started seaching online.

Can anything be done or does this just fall under the ole "Buyer (Seller) Beware"?
