This caller texted me for my makeup services asking how much I charge for a full wedding party. After I texted back and told him the quote of a thousand dollars, he said it was fine but if I could do him a favore and charge his cards of 1000 dollars more for the wedding gown designer, because she doesn't have a credit card machine , and he would tip me 150 for the favor. That would be against the law , sorry . Who ever this person is , it's a scam .
I received the same call to charge his card with a wedding gown designer and he will tip $150. It's definitely a scam. I told him it's against the law and I will report them.
This was his text:
Thanks for the response...i will like you to know at this point that I have hearing problem and currently undergoing a surgery at the hospital,I am okay with your price quote and will be paying you with my credit card..but I will also like you do me a special favor by charging my card with an extra $1200 which you gonna deposit to the account of the wedding gown designer,she does not have a credit card machine to charge for her payment,I will give you $150 extra as tip for this favor,so the total fund you will run on on my card is $2650,thanks for your cooperation,stay blessed
Today I received a text message from this number also but I thought it sounded like a scam and I researched the phone number on line and sure enough it is! I did not reply back. I am a Makeup Artist and he asked for My Makeup Services for his daughter that's getting married, his mom and like for seven bridesmaids. He also said he would pay for my travel and hotel expenses to San Francisco because that's where the wedding was taking place. He said his name is Michael. He's such a loser! Always lookout for these scammers people.
Same scam. He wanted to pay to fly me to San Fran and pay for my hotel. Tried booking 7 bridesmaids, bride and mother. I didn't even offer my services. My makeup isn't so amazing that someone would pay that much, when there is talent in their area. Clearly a scam.
