I received a text message from this number saying they wanted a quote for a fence installation and if I take credit cards. They first said they were Mark Johnson then couple text later said Michael Reuben. Called the number but a text only line. They continued to ask if we take credit card payments. SCAM!!!
Same story as above. Texted and wanted a quote for tree removal and asked if I take cards. Same name Mark Johnson. Can't figure out what they would be gaining here with no payments?
They are setting you up, the card number will be stolen, and will go through, but then the rightful owner will dispute the charges and you will be charged back. they will pay more than you want and ask you to send them money for some reason or another. This is a common scam that happens all the time and is reported on these pages.
Got a text from this number saying his name was "mark Johnson" asking for a price quote for home painting service, and if I accept credit card. He quickly explained that they "just bought a house for their mum" and they were hearing impaired. Probed further into the project they needed and quite a few red flags popped up: very poor grammar, asking immediately if I accept credit card, and used script that seemed canned and wouldn't answer any of my questions specifically. Clearly a scam!
