This character was trying to place a rather large order shipping to South Africa via Columbus Ohio. He wanted to pay with a Visa card only. Requested that we contact Access 1 Express Freight to arrange pick up. When told we could only accept a wire transfer as form of payment he said either credit card or nothing. We already knew he was fraud. Anytime you hear we are in Africa but ship thru a city in the Midwest area will be fraud; especially if they insist a credit card transaction.

Caller identified them selves as, Michael O'Neil from Vestment Technologies and asked to speak to someone in our marketing department. They wanted to verify an employees email. I asked for the callers information and I would have the employee call them back, or I could transfer them to voicemail. The caller insisted on getting me to verify the email they had for an employee in Marketing was correct. I refused and when I gave them a general email to send it to, they got upset and ended the call.
