Looking at the “Who’s Al” page of the blog:
> Each string of the violin possesses the power of coherent control. Call me a business violinist. Hi, I’m Al. In the business world, there’s talent, there’s hard work, and there’s the synchronization of these two “strings”.
> I’m the merger of an investment consultant, a tech specialist, and a fintech enthusiast.
> …
> I specialize in investments related to Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Fintech, Artificial Intelligence, among other tech ventures.
Thick BS language, and operating in a space that is chock full of fraud and criminal activity, I think you’re right to be suspicious. Clearly the client was a fraudster, using a stolen credit card, and re: the consultant being a fraudster, the chance of someone describing themselves as a “blockchain cryptocurrency investment consultant” being involved in fraud seems significant to me.
