V & Y EXPRESS INC - Doppleganger Scammer

[BCBOY]

This company is trying to scam us. Andrey almost got us..
The gmail account carrier is the legitimate email for this carrier in this scenario.

We were lucky that the owner of the V&Y Express Inc is responsive to our messages when we found the legit company but it was close one. Very sneaky this one..

Anyone with a @gmail account is big red flag.

Correct, but in this case, the Gmail was the legit company email.
It was the opposite in this scenario.

Not sure if I believe gmail being a red flag as we have worked with plenty of good carriers with a gmail account. I guess just doing your checks more if you see the gmail email is a good idea.
