BottonGost International Company

This is a reshipper scam. Credit card fraudsters want to purchase goods from merchants in your country using stolen credit card data, but they need the transaction to look less suspicious. They operate out of countries which are so well-known for credit card fraud that most merchants won't even deal with them, so they need reshippers to accept the goods locally and forward them overseas to avoid suspicion. The reshipper eventually gets a visit from the police because of all the fraud associated with that shipping address.

A Google search for "BottonGost" revealed an independent report of this scam, plus a curiously large number of links which have all gone 404 (page not available). The scammers are requesting replies to an email address in the "bottongost.cn" domain, which appears to have been registered for the purposes of this scam.
