Cheater who pose as customer

Today I received a call from a customer (?) from Delhi who wanted to order flowers and sweets on my website www.indiafloristdirect.com
When he told me this word sweets, I remember an incident which my fellow florist shared with me few days back. He received similar such request, it was a huge order of around 10 kg sweets along with big teddy and flowers. The reason why my friend became suspicious was that the customer was very carelessly spending(did not check price etc) and was asking repeatedly what else you have. The customer did not give his exact address but wanted to take delivery near his house. Though his payment was processed and the gifts were delivered, but if this turns up as a fraud (the credit card can be charged back in next 90 days after the purchase is made), my fellow florist will have to return the money (to the original card holder).
I did not want to take a risk so I told the caller to pay on delivery which he immediately refused.
