Type of a scam Credit Cards
I was contacted by text message from a person saying they were Smith Powell and they were looking for someone to
Do graphic design for a wedding Mazarin for newlyweds. They said they got my info from my website.
The presented a job to me and wanted a quote. I provided the quote for the scope of work and when we were discussing payment terms The client requested a favor:
“The favor i need from you is concerning this project i will be glad if you can handle that for me because am presently in the hospital for treatment i will want you to add $4,000 to the estimate this will be for the Project Consultant so he can send you the text and images of the programme he does not have the facility to accept credit card as a means of payment also. You are to charge $5,000 from my credit card.
The consultant will like to know the best file for you to receive the text and images also you are to charge the 3% Credit Card and Tax Charges from my credit card.”
When I refused to do business on this manner, they stopped responding after saying “have a good Dey”
