I, Jerminah, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “THEMBELA SMITH”:

I suspected that it is a scam,because after sending a quotation,she called me immediately and said i have been awarded a quotation.

And she said she is going to send a purchase order ,so we can deliver the items.
