got msg on cell "customer issue, eppi card frozen, please call at 301 760 7242" I did not call the number since I'm not aware of any problems with any of my credit cards...
He uses an iPhone. I have one. During a text exchange other iPhone users are indicated when my conversation bubble is BLUE.
If it was GREEN, that would mean that he or she is a non iphone user.
Nov 25th at 7:46 PM EST I got this text:
Hi M____ How are you? Is this a good time?
I'm RYAN. I'm moving to NYC December 20th and wanted to hire you for two months at $8000 each week.
Would you be interested?
I replied:
This sounds like a scam.

Tonight at 10:37PM EST (and happening as I type this...)
They still are on an iPhone texting same message with the date changed:
Hi M____ How are you? Is this a good time?
I'm RYAN. I'm moving to NYC February 26th and wanted to hire you for two months at $8000 each week.
Would you be interested?
I called and left a happy/ eager voice mail to call back.
-No answer-
I texted:
Call me.
Reply:
Can't right now.
Me:
Why?
Reply:
Have a voice issue I'm fixing and can't speak well right now
I'm in a wheelchair.
Me:
That is no problem. I'm a good listener.
Reply:
Would you be interested?
Me:
Sure. What's your name and address?
-long pause-
Hello?
Reply:
Sorry I'm here but I live in DC M______ moving to NYC
Me:
Great. What is your name and address?
:)
Reply:
Not giving you my address
Me (still leading them on) :
Would you not give me your address?
Tell me nothing about your personal security and who or how many people live with you.
That would be unwise as you decided to indicate yourself as being in a wheelchair and therefore vulnerable.
Never do that again, btw. Not until you know you can trust a person.
But if you're serious about hiring me exclusively for 8 weeks, then giving me your first and last name and address is NORMAL business practice.
-long pause-
Hello?
-end of contact-
So they call themself "Ryan" won't give a voice either because its a female, has an identifiable accent or either wants or needs to stick to a texted script.

I just got a text from him right now. He used a similar line on me. But saying he is moving to LA on the 24th and same $8,000 a week for 2months. Luckily I check all calls whether I find a Facebook acct on them or ???? From their phone number or e mail. So when I saw he is scammed on plenty of sites I let him know not to contact my number again and I will call the police to show he is still at his scamming ways. Never heard from again.
