Description

We were contacted by "Jessica" of Jessica Events from Parma Hts, Ohio via phone call to our main number. She explained she was an event caterer and wanted to purchase 900 pounds of meat products (oxtails, short rib and round meat) costing approximately $8,000. She did not ask what our prices were, which alarmed us. We researched the situation and determined a similar scam had happened to Boston, Mass area butcher shops. Tens of thousands of dollars in credit card payments to the butcher shops were determined to be fraudulent and the shops lost the money. Based on this, we explained to "Jessica" we needed a cashiers check for a first time order that large, at which time she hung up.
