Red flags: Invoice asks for payment via Venmo, Zelle, eChecks, electronic payments - Wire, ACH, Bank Transfer, or PO. All payment methods require you to contact them for additional information to send the funds. I chose Venmo and was provided this information: Debra-Colburn-2 with a PIN of 2406. That was my first flag...the name doesn't match the company name. I then began my research and here is what I found: 1) They have a legit looking company website. The address of the company on the website doesn't match my invoice. 2) The address on the website is a Norwegian Cruise Terminal address in FL, 3) The address on my invoice is to the Ramsey County District Courthouse in St. Paul, MN (15 W Kellogg Blvd, St Paul, MN 55102), 4) Looking at the website, the list "their team" and upon investigating the four people listed: These people do not exist...not on FB, not on LinkedIn, nor is the company listed on LinkedIn (which if this is a valid company at least ONE of their employees would have listed it as a current or previous employer), additionally the pictures used of the alleged employees are stock photos you can get off the web, 5) there are two phone numbers listed: 520-564-8708 (which matched the website and my invoice) and another one on the website as 305-334-7177. I called the 520 number and someone answered "hello" and when I started to question them, they realized they should have answered it "Ascent Containers." I asked for them to validate an invoice for payment and they were able to find it and state back what I had on my invoice. When I questioned their location in FL, and then in MN, they started to get angry with me stating "look, I am legit, I told you want you wanted to know." I told them I was skeptical and hung up. This was enough for me to cancel (via text) the delivery.
