HERE’s an example of one I received not too long ago:
“Good-day
My name is ……. how are you doing today.i will be glad to i will like to order for Cupcakes vanilla flavors on 14th of july by 2pm prompt is for my grandmother birthday and will be pickup,2 piece per person and it for 300 people at the event and i will send down a private driver with truck to your location for the pickup of the cakes on the event day by 2pm so i need your restaurant address for the pickup of the foods so i will like you to calculate all together so that i can give you my credit card information right now to run for upfront and i will send down a private driver to your location for the pickup on the event day and please kindly let me know the major credit card that you accept for payment as soon as possible . . i will be looking forward to hear from you any moment from now . till i hear from you remain bless and have a nice day.
Thanks”
When I responded that I was booked ( In this instance I was fully booked) Their response was “can I pick another day?”..this was sent to me two weeks before the actual event ( for 300 people)….
Fraud?? I would think so!
Be careful…
@evelynsbakers…sorry that happened to you. There are bad people out there trying all sorts of scams…good on you for mentioning it here…
