Who you DO hear from is the credit card company about the fraudulent charge.Īnd if you take credit cards but haven’t experienced this, if someone calls their credit card company and claims your charge is fraudulent, they take the money right out of your bank account, with very little notice, I might add.Īnd if you actually sent a check to that person, not only do you lose the original deposit, but you lose the money you sent to their “project consultant” as well. What happens if you agree? Well, you charge the card. The reason they claim to be hearing-impaired is so they don’t have to talk to you on the phone, because either they are not good enough actors or else they have thick accents they don’t want you to hear. There are a lot of people who may not have heard about it, and may think that a great website project just fell into their lap. Wouldn’t you know that their “project consultant” doesn’t take credit cards? And since you do, they’d like you to charge the full amount to the credit card, then send a payment to their project manager. If you continue to do exchanges with this person, and even go so far as to send a proposal, they will request something odd. There’s information on what they want, a budget, etc. Kindly get back to me with an estimate asap i want the site up and running before ending of next month. i will be providing the images, logos and content for the site.Ħ.

I have small scale business which i want to turn into large scale business now and the company is based on importing and exporting of Agriculture products such as Kola Nut, Gacillia Nut and Cocoa so i need a best of the best layout design for it. When I got the first one of these, I responded with my typical questions and then the next email from them looks something like this: First, they make sure you know they are hearing-impaired and then want to know if you accept credit cards. The name always changes, but the content in the first message is always the same. I have been getting these with increasing frequency. Hello I am James Tobby and i am hearing impaired i need to know if you can handle website design for a new company and i also need to know if you accept credit cards as form of payment ?
