Got this text earlier today ? What do you guys think ? Scam or real ?
Scam
Scam
I got the same text too
When I first got this text , I was like this one seems different . So I approached it like a real client , you never know
Me too, but I asked if he makes tacos. Waiting on response
Ok so this is what I did , I called the guy and was like . Se encuentra Jesus ? And then I only talked Spanish and he was like ’ no Spanish ’ and I said I no English
Total Scam
What’s the end game for this guy? What’s the point of this scam??
To steal money or cc info from gullible or hard up contractors
I refuse to answer any new person that contacts me via txt msg… Don’t get me wrong I run a lot of business through txt but don’t txt me if I don’t know you.
What they do is tell you they will pay you with a CC and they want to pay your about 1500 more than you quote and they ask that you return them $1000 via a western union transfer, all good everything goes thru at the time then your bank takes all the money back after the card they used has been processed as stolen.
They will always communicate through texts and will tell you they are hearing impaired more then likely.
Man if you can’t even trust Jesus, then who CAN you trust?
Soon you will find out Jesus is deaf and he will ask if you take credit cards. And he just closed on a property and needs to overpay you for your service… and he is also in treatment for cancer.
I love to mess with these people. I have them going down a rabbit hole everytime
They pay you with a stolen credit card , they accidentally over pay you . Tell you to wire the dirrefence back . And when the real owner of the card sees the fraudulent transaction , the cc company will deduct from your account the monies putting you out a lot of money
I have received three requests via text for an estimate, all three turned into paying jobs. I got another one yesterday morning from a neighborhood that I just did door hangers in. I give the estimate Monday morning. We’ll see if it too turns into a paying job.
I think it’s rude. That’s just my opinion. But then again I haven’t had very many new people try to contact me via txt. Pick up the phone dammit. This ain’t a one stop jiffy lube shop. Make a connection.
HAHA…I know, right? It is the times we live in I guess, brother.
I’ve got a Japanese Knotweed problem. It would be like me going through all the landscapers numbers from the phone book and txting. “Do you do Japanese Knotweed removal? Txt 1 for yes or 2 for no”
