I work for a gigantic tech company of which approx. every human soul in the civilized world has heard of. I certainly don't work in sales, and even if I did, our company doesn't exactly cater to individual retail customers.
What spam do I get the other day?
"Hello Sales,
I would like to order the below items from your store, kindly confirm pricing and availability on it and get back to me or if you could get them for us on a special order which we would be ready to pay for.
1,Seagate Expansion 1TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive
2,HP OEM ORIGINAL 78DN (C6578DN) Inkjet Cartridge, Tri-Color
3,HP OEM ORIGINAL HP 96 (C8767WN) Black Inkjet Print Cartridge
To be ship to [Address of an empty house here... I looked it up on Google Maps.]
We would also need you to confirm the types of credit card accepted by you."
What possible reason would this clown have for spamming anybody at my company? I've never gotten this sort of spam in my personal account, so I can only think it's targeted at my company. Which makes absolutely zero sense whatsoever.
In any case...
The a$$clown is obviously going to use stolen credit cards to buy easily re-sold goods to be delivered to an empty house. (I suppose I should be relieved there isn't a gullible Mule involved) I'm tempted to play along (using a throwaway e-mail address), but I'm not sure how I would get the stolen number(s) to the proper authorities.
They used the name of a real business (albeit one in a different state) but a bogus domain name. (BusinessNameInc.com (fake) vs. BusinessName.com (real)
