301-760-7161

Called and lied about name.  Finally left message and said to ask for Mark

got msg on cell "customer issue, eppi card frozen, please call at 301 760 7242"  I did not call the number since I'm not aware of any problems with any of my credit cards...

He uses an iPhone. I have one. During a text exchange other iPhone users are indicated  when my conversation bubble is BLUE.
If it was GREEN, that would mean that he or she is a non iphone user.

Nov 25th at 7:46 PM EST I got this text:

Hi M____ How are you? Is this a good time?
I'm RYAN. I'm moving to NYC December 20th and wanted to hire you for two months at $8000 each week.
Would you be interested?

I replied:
This sounds like a scam.
-End of contact-

Tonight at 10:37PM EST (and happening as I type this...)

They still are on an iPhone texting same message with the date changed:

Hi M____ How are you? Is this a good time?
I'm RYAN. I'm moving to NYC February 26th and wanted to hire you for two months at $8000 each week.
Would you be interested?

I called and left a happy/ eager voice mail to call back.
-No answer-

I texted:
Call me.

Reply:
Can't right now.

Me:
Why?

Reply:
Have a voice issue I'm fixing and can't speak well right now

I'm in a wheelchair.

Me:
That is no problem. I'm a good listener.

Reply:
Would you be interested?

Me:
Sure. What's your name and address?
-long pause-
Hello?

Reply:
Sorry I'm here but I live in DC M______ moving to NYC

Me:
Great. What is your name and address?
:)

Reply:
Not giving you my address

Me (still leading them on) :
Would you not give me your address?

Tell me nothing about your personal security and who or how many people live with you.
That would be unwise as you decided to indicate yourself as being in a wheelchair and therefore vulnerable.
Never do that again, btw. Not until you know you can trust a person.

But if you're serious about hiring me exclusively for 8 weeks, then giving me your first and last name and address is NORMAL business practice.
-long pause-

Hello?
-end of contact-


So they call themself "Ryan" won't give a voice either because its a female, has an identifiable accent or either wants or needs to stick to a texted script.

That's all I got.

I just got a text from him right now. He used a similar line on me. But saying he is moving to LA on the 24th and same $8,000  a week for 2months. Luckily I check all calls whether I find a Facebook acct on them or ????  From their phone number or e mail. So when I saw he is scammed on plenty of sites I let him know not to contact my number again and I will call the police to show he is still at his scamming ways. Never heard from again.

I just got contacted by this person by text, said same as a above, moving to LA and wanted to hire me for 2 months at $8000 per week, we went back and for till they requested a picture "babe" and I asked how they heard about me, no more text. Just want to add my comment to date the event for anyone else who might google this thread.

This guy is pulling all the same stuff on me.  Sating he was going to hire me for 8000 a week   payed in advanced

This guy is a complete scam. We had been talking for a month about him paying me $10,000 a week to stay with him in LA for two months.  Even went as far as to say he would come see me in my home town. On the date he was to arrive I confronted him about these comments linked to his number and specific form of speaking. I received no txt back and he never showed. I tried calling numerous times but "his" phone was conveniently shut off or remained unanswered after numerous rings.


Let's work to get this scam artists posing as a wheelchair bound business man.  

just got the same message from him on my iPhone. number 1-301-760-8497. He said he would pay me 15k for sex, or up to 20k a week. How illogical is that. Billionaires don't do that. He says he flips houses all over the country....in a wheelchair? I just texted him how i found all his scam stories online. Never heard back.

Same thing just happened to me but I found this thread about 10 days ago and he told me that he gave someone money and then they tried to get more money so that is why all of this was on internet.  He sent me pics and told me he would be here yesterday dec 9 and we would meet and he had a present for me and sent me pic.  8pm came and went I sent one message although knowing that this was too good to be true.  The question I have is what is the scam or what pleasure does this person get?  They are that big of a loser?  It's so bizarre and laughable at the same time.

He said he was coming to Toronto, and stated which hotel he was staying at.. when i got there he stopped texting and i wasted my time trying to contact him. Also he had requested pics of me, so he has those :( hope this guy gets caught. Karma is a [***]! Wish i had googled his name and email sooner :(

oh thank goodness for this thread. he just offered my 2,500 a night for 10 nights of services.. if it sounds to good to be true, it always is!
