Description

Customer reached out by filling out a contact form asking for a quote on items that totaled $75,000. Asked for the customer for billing address and ship to address. Customer mentioned this will need to be shipped to Attn: Scott Damilare 408-928-4112 64 East 98th Street, Store B Brooklyn NY 11212 This is out of our territory, so I asked the customer to complete a credit application so we can validate the information and verify this was a legit opportunity, which they did, and sent back to me via email. Email was blocked by IT first red flag, did a little digging while letting the customer know that I would reach out to IT to get more information on why it may have been blocked (have had experience where emails blocked when it shouldn't.) While waiting decided to do some digging. The email address used was not the same as the email on the company's real website when using contact us page. Thankfully I was diligent, and fact check, and a lot of red flags added up.
