Received this text: "Hi I would like to know if I can get free estimate for my windows upgrade?, also do you accept credit cards?" Typical message that I get on almost a weekly basis...the grammar and punctuation scream non-English speaker, and at the end is always the "do you take credit cards" part. Sometimes they are looking for "detailing", sometimes it's "home windows", but it's all a scam. They say whatever price you quote is great, they'll give you a (stolen) credit card number to pay and tell you to charge twice as much, then just send them back the difference through some kind of money wiring service. I used to ignore these, but now I have some fun with them by profanely acknowledging them as an illiterate scammer.
