The above email was sent by “Jeff Smith” from this email address: sales@maingadgets.co.za
I, Cathy, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Jeff Smith”:
I paid for a SMEG kettle online at www.maingadgets.co.za and it never arrived. When queried, Jeff Smith then attempted to scam me out of more money (R3000!) to get the courier to deliver with a bogus story about customs etc.
