My site visitor reported to me that she received emails from Rod Way Shipping. (rodwayshipping.com).

From what our team has managed to uncover, this website is a scam..
Based on our research system, the Rodway Shipping Company has just recently formed its website as of October 29, 2007

-It is based out of the United States (Not the UK).
-Name of the webmaster is "Joao Santos"
-It's address is "3239 N. Troy Street, Chicago, IL, US. 60618".
-His email is "[email protected]".
-His phone number is "+1 7185453454".

Also, the address they have on their website doesn't exist if you google map it.
