Received a text from this #, name David Warnock, asking about my business services and how credit card payments are accepted. After responding that I could meet in person (I don't know this person/have never met him) he responded that he's unable to meet in person (has to take his mom to hospital) and wanted to take care of payment over text. Tons of misspelled works and poor grammar throughout texts. After saying I couldn't take payment over text without meeting this person he quickly stopped responding.
This is what I just received:
This is David Warnock how are you doing,i will like to know if you are available for Fitness training and exercise services can i know if you are the owner or manager and do you accept credit card for payment kindly get back to me as soon as possible.
"David Warnock" also just have been contacting me. First via email, then via text through this number. He asked about credit card payments, and a 'favor' which was to pay for the driver (a sum of nearly 2 thousand dollars) because for some reason he could not. After responding with we would be more than happy to provide our own transportation services, he has yet to respond.
received the following txt msg: "Hello this is David Warnock how are you doing. I would like to know if you are available for fitness training and exercise services. Can I know if you are the owner or manager and do you accept credit card for payment. Kindly get back to me as soon as possible"
I replied and received the following txt msg: "Thanks for the prompt response. I want to make an appointment for fitness training and exercise service for my family (private group training for 4). I want you to get you to get back to me with the total estimate for 1 month private training for 4 people 2(Female) aged (20, and 18)and 2(Male) aged (19 and 22) for 3 weeks 1hr daily 3 times a week, they will be coming with a private transportation driver for the service.
I will be expecting your reply with the total cost and your full name,address and direction for the private transport to locate your place when they are coming."
I replied that I could not accommodate training 4 people at the same time and received the following txt: "Ok that's fine and you can have them train by 2 on 2 so there is no problem in that, kindly get back to me with full total cost of your service for the 4 kids."
I became suspicious at that point and looked up the number and found this site.
