Scam Notices

Multiple freight carriers have reported hiring a freight broker who is illegally and fraudulently using the name “Leggett & Platt Global Supply Chain Solutions” and “L&P Transportation LLC” along with using an actual MC# and physical address that is associated with Leggett & Platt. The fraudulent Contract Load & Rate Confirmation contains phone numbers and e-mail addresses that are not associated with Leggett & Platt, such as

• (517)-500-6205,
• (614)-768-9359,
• max@leggetplatt.net,
• tyler@leggett.tech,
• john.leggettplatt@gmail.com,
• max@leggettplatt.org.in,
• john@leggettplatt.org.in,
• and john@leggetplatt.net.

Several individuals around the world have recently reported receiving checks which appear to be from Leggett & Platt. They reference Leggett & Platt in the top left-hand corner, and typically are drawn on J.P. Morgan or a Canadian bank. They are accompanied by a standard letter or e-mail, which instructs the recipient to deposit the check in his or her bank account to help in "expediting payment," or through a money transfer service to work as a mystery shopper or personal assistant. The checks may also be sent with a letter referencing a lottery or "prize" pool. However, the scam continues to evolve so other misrepresentations may be used.
