I’m looking for opinions here. I recently received an order for 20 shirts to ship with all haste to Nigeria. Since it’s not a domestic order my tools for verifying the credit card don’t work. The order raises all the red flags I was warned to watch out for: big order, foreign order, wants order asap, Yahoo email account. I did an online search to find the address and it turns out that it’s a party rental store in Lagos, Nigeria with the name of the business being a shortened form of the name of the person listed on the credit card. I tried to call but the international lines were all busy at the time and I don’t know that I’ll have time to make a second attempt in a timely fashion (lousy day job). I have communicated successfully with this person via email since the order was placed. I’m thinking very strongly about shipping because the details line up nicely, but I thought I’d ask if there are any steps I’m overlooking in my loss prevention plan and for opinions on how any of you would proceed.
