Can the "11407 SW Amu St., Tualatin, OR 97062, USA" address be used for scams and frauds?
Yes it can be used for legit as well as illegal activities like ANY other address. BUT I and many of my friends use it for making legit purchases in US online shops that don't ship overseas.

Most stolen credit card orders are sent to freight forwarders to send to other countries.
ReplyDeleteShipito requires its customers to provide 2 valid IDs, so it is much safer to send orders to Shipito than to most freight forwarders that do not have any customer validation.
ReplyDeleteWell, someone stole my credit card and sent $4,000 worth of items out of the country using Shipito, so obviously they aren't that reilable.
ReplyDeleteShipito helps stores to fight fraud. They force users to provide 2 IDs. Many other shipping forwarders don't require any IDs. But of course there is no 100% guarantee.
ReplyDeleteHow long did it take you to find out that $4,000 were stolen?
Have the store contacted Shipito? What was the result?
Also do you use different credit cards for online transactions and offline transactions? Do you use credit cards with small limits for small transactions? Do you check online stores before making any purchases? Do you replace your credit cards once or twice a year? Do you get text messages (SMS) for all transactions over $100-500?

ReplyDeleteI'm totally lost. I just don't understand whether to deliver our orders to 11407 SW Amu Street or not.
ReplyDeleteWhat warehouse should I use: Tualatin, Torrance or Hawthorne?
ReplyDeletePlease see the following:

You can call Eastbiz Corporation (310) 212-7134 and ask whether the client is new or not. It should be pretty safe to send packages to old clients.
ReplyDeleteIs it necessary to call Eastbiz to find out whether the client is new or not? How risky it is to ship to new clients of freight forwarders?
ReplyDeleteMy credit card was hacked into over the internet through a company and I'm still in dispute with it. This is the address my credit card company gave me that the merchandise was sent to. So tell me, how do they require to 2 proper ID's??? This is BULL!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis just happened to me. The thief likely used Bitcoin for transactions. Bitcoin clients are not traceable like credit card and checking account/ACH clients are. I think they should not allow Bitcoin to be used for currency in making transactions involving mail forwarding.
DeleteDO NOT USE THIS PLACE!!! SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!!
ReplyDeleteContact Shipito so they can put the account used for the scam on hold.
ReplyDelete2 IDs are required to verify your account. But it doesn't give a 100% guarantee that their address won't be used for scams. Someone may hijack ID and password to get a package instead of the real owner.
Here are some fraud prevention tips for those who make purchases online via debit or credit cards

You may also consider getting AmEx card. At least my friends highly recommended it to me after having their money returned very quickly.
No one should have to do any of those things you mentioned. His credit card probably was never used online for anything, and it still gets compromised and used online. There is a good reason companies do not ship overseas. Fraud. If they knew you were a reshipping company, retailers would not send to you either. You are facilitating fraud. Two IDs - big deal - if they can get credit card info, they can certainly counterfeit IDs. Are you some kind of expert in identifying counterfeit IDs from a scanned image, or do you physically handle these IDs? Just because he did not respond does not make his claim false, he probably did not wait around to see your response.
ReplyDeleteOnly Russia alone has hundreds of thousands of customers who get their purchases reshipped via freight forwarding companies like Shipito. And even if you don't like customers from Russia there are customers from different countries of the world from Australia and Canada to India and Brazil. Even customers from the U.S. territories, Alaska are forced to use freight forwarders sometimes. Plus many online stores do not offer shipping via USPS, so U.S. citizens with APO, FPO, DPO addresses use freight forwarders to reship their online purchases too.
ReplyDeleteMore and more stores start shipping to freight forwarders intentionally. And even those who didn't ship to such locations in the past (like Timberland, Levi's) do it right now intentionally. If you are a seller who prefers to stay away from customers overseas, this is your choice. I understand it considering the risks involved.
I do not work for Shipito (I'm a customer of theirs who consolidated a couple of hundreds of packages from many U.S. online stores), so I can't tell you whether they have experts to analyze images of counterfeit documents or not. However their limits and/or the notary signed 1583 form will stop many fraudsters.
My Credit Card was just used for illegal purchases on and the thief used the following address for the items to be shipped to..
ReplyDelete11407 SW Amu St.Suite #Kh599 tualatin OR 97062 united States
Make sure to contact Shipito a.s.a.p.
DeleteSomeone used that address as my shipping address on Walmart. That's crap
ReplyDeleteThey used that address in my Walmart where I put my own address
ReplyDeleteMake sure to contact Shipito and Walmart about this incident. Also it is a good idea to change the password from the Walmart store as well as to check your computer for viruses.
DeleteThis just happened to me. Someone got into my store card account and shipped $700 worth of goods (up to my credit limit) using a Tualatin address through Shipito. First, I called my store card customer service. They were able to catch the shipment before it went out the door. Second, I researched this and found this blog, thank goodness. Third, I called Shipito and they blacklisted the account at the suite number. Here's the key: the two forms of ID works for Shipito clients who are legit, of course. Those clients who hide behind another identification and use Bitcoin, online currency, is where the problem lies. Shipito cannot easily verify the identification of Bitcoin payers. Shipito should not allow online currency to be used, but that would kill a large part of their business then, as Bitcoin is an international way to pay over the internet for those entities that accept it. Unfortunately, it's used a lot for FRAUD. The international community should regulate the use of Bitcoin for monetary transactions.
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome that the shipment was caught before leaving the door! As for Shipito customers using Bitcoin, they will still need to provide IDs. But IDs can be bought on the black market, so unfortunately there is no 100% guaranty that frauds will be prevented.
DeleteThis just happened to me as well. Closed CC account and disputed the charge. Will contact Shipto as well so they can blacklist that persons account. Will also have my CC company fraud dept contact shipto directly. How do people get away with this???
ReplyDeleteGood to know that you contacted both your credit card company and Shipito. The problem should be resolved really fast.
DeleteHowever there is another question you should think about. How did they get your CC details? Was it due to hacking some web-site (where you should not store your CC or use something like paypal instead), malware on your computer or was it done in a restaurant, hotel,...?
In June 2016 my e-gift card from walmart was compromise, no idea how, then the balance was used to ship a refurbished cell phone to Alexander Shaikin 11407 SW Amu St Suite #GR6811 Tualatin, OR 97062. I called walmart who called the vendor VIP Outlet the same day I received an email about the fraudulent purchase, however I have never been reimbursed and the phone was never returned (of course). Walmart won't do anything to help as they did not directly sell the item and VIP Outlet won't do anything. I have not complained to Shipito, is that a possibility?
ReplyDeleteYou should have contacted Shipito in June, but it is still a good idea to report the problem now.
DeleteAs for the compromised e-gift card, you must change your e-mail password (make sure to use something complicated... may be generated by freeware password storage application Keepass). I also suggest you to check your computer for viruses. If you don't have any good antiviruses, you can always use freeware Avast or AVG. Malware may also exist on your smart phone.
Someone just tried to ship an item I supposedly ordered off eBay to this address. ebay traced the digital footprint and discovered my account had been accessed at 4 am this morning from Russia. The order had been placed a short time later from New Jersey and then a short time after that, the "buyer" had tried to change the "Ship To" address to this address at which time the seller cancelled the order.
ReplyDeleteWell someone keeps ordering things using my Paypal account to the tune of several thousands of dollars and the address is as follows:

DeleteChange your paypal password and check your computer for malware.
My Credit Card was just used for illegal purchases on T-Mobile and the thief used the following address for the items to be shipped:
ReplyDelete11407 SW Amu St. Ste #VT429 Tualatin, OR 97062
Make sure to contact Shipito and the shop that was used to purchase T-Mobile phones(?). And think how your credit card information leaked. This could be due to malware on your computer or mobile device.
