I’ve seen this a few times and am still confused about how it actually works.

hes going to give u an amount that will go through, but then it will bounce and he would have stolen 4k from you when you withdraw that money from your account

they likely have a stolen card number from grandma somewhere and they know if they try to run it through the overseas system it will not work. So they get guys like me to pull money off the card and give cash. And @beallcameron is correct. Once the card issuer sees the charge they can dispute it and the money goes back to the card and you are left with the bill.

I got this same message today and warned all the companies around me.

Put something for sale on Craigslist and you will get 20 of them.

Just a regular thing.

I get them all the time on my other business.
Just tell them you have square and they will ram away

At first I thought the scam was a $180 house wash… just messing

I had a local competitor (kinda) submit a quote request on my website today. When Ingoogled the address it came up with the business name everywhere. I’m still kind of confused…

Should I go with a $89 quote or $525?
