I am currently in the hospital about to undergo my lungs and hearing surgery in few days and that really makes me not to be able do anything physically or make phone calls I hope you can be reach sometimes via email or text? kindly bear with me for now pls I want you to know that i will be hosting a cancer seminar in few weeks and i need my vehicles detailed&ready before my seminar commence pls I will really appreciate if you can make things happen for me pls

I believe this is from Nigeria....LOL Scam for sure

[BM1024]

Yeah, I get these at my house cleaning company all the time. Well, not for cleaning cars, but the "I'm moving in next week - tell me the price - pay up front with credit card"

[choijw2]

got me all excited and now im stressed out lol

[LSNAutoDetailing]

Yup, that's a scam... don't give any info, don't accept any credit card payments from them. There is a credit fraud scam in there somewhere I'm sure.
They're asking for your receivers name and address probably to use your business as some kind of drop-ship maybe? Report it to the local PD and move on.

I personally meet with every customer, do a VIF and give them a full quote.

Wow, that looks sketchy! You can tell by the grammar, and who has "lungs and hearing" surgery and then hosts a Cancer seminar which requires 3 vehicles?

[choijw2]

First email I received wasnt that sketchy at all


This was too funny for me.

Are there really people who fall for this?

For that matter...

- Who has hearing AND lung surgery at the same time??
- Who has hearing and lung surgery and then is even capable of hosting a seminar only a couple weeks later??
