Luckily, the only thing hurt was Ralph McMillan’s pride.
McMillan tells me his Texas company, RAMCO Laundry Machinery, was nearly victimized in a scam perpetrated by someone claiming to be from the United Arab Emirates.
While no money or equipment was lost, he asked if I would alert the industry to the possibility of similar scam attempts.
An individual from “Orion General Trading” contacted RAMCO by e-mail in November, claiming to represent a client who was interested in buying two flatwork ironers.
