Vigilant Eagle, Private Security Firm

Has anyone heard of this company?

Someone claiming to represent this company has contected my company and is asking questions that raise flags.

Their website mentions SOF, operators, 'officer class' and a scalible force.

Yea, I saw all that as well. But nothing really on the company. In my office, there are six of us, all of whom have spent the majority of our lives on Bragg, and are pretty well tied into the defense industry and none of us have heard of this company. Google seems to be a little shallow on them as well.

Won't get into on the open forum, but they were asking about sensitive gear and special training.
