I received a text from Lawrence Fairley asking about personal fitness services for his family. Same story as above, do I accept credit cards, my location addr requested, and hearing impaired. I requested his email address but so far no response.

Same thing with rugs for us too. He did change his name however to Lawrence Fairley.

I have been receiving numerous texts from a Garry Nelson from two different numbers asking me to clean rugs. He is persistent. After three days and numerous texts regarding this job, a continued to ask him to call me. He cited poor health, relocation, etc. as a reason he had to do business over the phone via text. I looked up both numbers which brought me to this sight.  He is definitely scamming. Don't fall for it.

I have been contacted by someone who wants to order cupcakes for his uncles wedding and said that he is a pastor, but is hard of hearing and wants my cell number so we can text. I am in arizona and own a home based business. I haven't gotten as far as talking about payment because he refused to give more information about himself. What will these con artists think of next...

Of course you realize the shipping company is actually the scammer and you would be out a lot of dough.  (Sorry, couldn't resist the pun.)  The overpayment/wire transfer is a dead giveaway to a scam.

I just received a email from the same person but stated his name is Garry Nelson I also own a cupcake shop in California, same thing wanted 450 cupcakes and a $150 tip for the employees and wants me to charge him $1500 dollars on top of the cupcake order to wire transfer it to a trucking company that will pick up the cupcakes!!

I own Mischief Cupcakes in Ohio. And I got a text from this number referring to himself as Garry Nelson. Asking if I accept credit cards on my orders. I have gone through is about a dozen times. I didn't even play along this time. It's always the same thing though. Wants to order 1000, pay for them by credit card and would give me a generous tip. And cannot be called because he is hard of hearing.

Received message on ZOOSK to text 347 762 0499 as they are not a paying member - even though ZOOSK is free

This number text me to set up an appointment for 6 up-do's. He referred to himself as Fred Miller and said a "late friend" gave him my info. He said he was def so he wouldn't be able to call me. He also would not give me his e-mail. He became pushy for more info on me...full name, my salon address and so on. I did not give him the info after he said he could not give me his credit card info to reserve the large space. I am now hearing he is somehow scamming hairdressers out of money. Just a heads up to the hairdresser family!!!!!! The number comes up as a land lline in New York. Hope this can help.
