So I get a text yesterday morning that sounds somewhat familiar to some B.S. scam that I replied to when I was starting out 2 years ago. The only thing is, this one has used a real address that I used to live near. Below is the following conversation so far:
Him 11-4 2:06pm - Hello, Good morning, this is Ken Nelson. I will like to know if you do home window washing and do you accept credit card for payment and are you also the owner of the company? Regards Ken
Me 11-4 2:07pm - Yes. We do home window cleaning. We do accept all major credit cards. Yes, I am the owner. Where would you like me to provide a quote at?
Him 11-5 9:01am - Hello good morning and so sorry I never get back to you yesterday. Had a very long day with my doctor and I saw your text late in my phone so I was very tired.....Thanks for the reply back. Am an hearing impaired. That is why I contact you via text message, I would need your help because I just bought a new house here in the city, and I will like you to understand that I will be paying for the inspection of the property for proper handling and estimation. I need the full window washing to be done. Will you be able to do that for me???
Me 11-5 9:02am - Address?
Him 11-5 9:04am - Ok but before I do that I will like to know if you the owner of the company and do you accept credit card for payment??
Me 11-5 9:04am - Yes and yes (side point, at this point, I'm starting to get very suspicious)
Him 11-5 9:14am Ok fine here is the house address of the property xxxx 143rd Ave, Dorr, MI 49323 (right down the road from where I used to live for the last 32 years.)
Him 11-5 9:14am When you will have availability to check the house for me and get an estimate???
Him 11-5 10:08am Hello are you there and did you get my previous text?
Him 11-5 10:09am Hello are you there and did you get my previous text?
Me 11-5 10:57am I did, yes. I was on a job in Grand Haven. I can come out this afternoon to quote you.
Him 11-5 11:18am no problem but I will want you to know that right now am out of the town for my ear surgery and I will want you to know that I will be paying for upfront payment as a deposit
Him 11-5 11:39am Hello are you there and did you get my previous text?
Him 11-5 11:40am Hello are you there and did you get my previous text?
I typed out his text exactly the way I got it. Circumstances just sound very "off." Are there security risks with someone using credit cards? I know about the whole Western Union thing, but just want to make sure I'm not blowing this guy off just because I'm not perceiving him as legit.
