I was also approached by someone from Fidelity. The person making the calls from Fidelity is an obvious fraud. Many "offshore" trading houses will use names that are similar to reputable houses. Now, the company Buckeye Facilitation is properly registered in America in the State of Ohio and banks with a reputable national bank so I doubt the company is a scam, i.e., you send your money and it disappears. Apparently, under American securities law it is legal to sell shares privately and not through an exchange per se. Many small publicly traded companies do this to raise capital. They would sell their shares directly to the public and these shares are deemed restricted from trade for a certain period of time. They appoint a receiver of funds which I would assume is this Buckeye group. Apparently, the authorities in Britain, Ireland and other European jurisditions can't regulate such activity and therefore do anything and everything to stop it as this would be a breeding ground for scams.
