Received the same but as an email, contacted me last week about web design services and hosting for a clothing business, wanted a complete e-commerce site, hosting, yada yada, what caught my attention was that he wanted it all within a month, yet he was on a "business trip".  I sent him back a 32 page design questionnaire, told him to get back to me when it was all filled out... LOL, haven't heard back from him yet. Thanks for your post, Barbara... at least it confirms my suspicions. I despise when people waste my time. =)

We got an email from someone calling themselves 'Lisa Payne' using email:   mannixjones34@gmail.com  who said the same thing - looking for web site design for someone who is hearing impaired and cannot answer the phone, but wants to know if we take credit cards....
You are right - this is a scam.

I got the same text and email. Avoid SPAM from cell phone: 646-470-9013 email: teddy smith <teddysmith675@gmail.com>
Where do we report those people?

Literally googled 'paulfowler10003@gmail.com' and it brought me here, although, my email was about Personal Training, here two emails with details:

Greetings, this is Paul... I will like to know if you are available for Fitness Training? Also are you the Gym owner and what type of credit card do you accept for payment?

Thanks,

Paul

and

Thanks for your prompt response. The essential reason for contacting you. I need your help because I want to make an Personal Fitness Training appointment for my kids and I would like the kids to start Training on 15th of January 2018 which will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday by 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm lessons. They are 4 (2 Female Carolyn 19, Amanda 17) and (2 Male Scott 20, Matt 23) I want 3 time a week for 4 weeks lessons for each kids. The kids haven't been to any Personal Fitness Training before, so they are all beginners. So can you do handle all the 4 kids in 3 times a week for 4 weeks and I want you to get back to me with the total estimate for the kids, I also want you to know that I have make an arrangement with a private transportation driver that will bring the 4 kids to your location for the training and have them pick up once you are done. So kindly get back to me with the total cost for all the 4 kids now while I hold?

'I will need you to do me a favor regarding the private driver service that will be bringing the kids down to you for the training. I'm yet to pay them, because they are a small company and do not have credit card facility. So I'd need you to charge my card for your service and an extra sum that covers for the(driver), with a tip £100 for you helping me with this favor. So you can help me coordinate the driver fee to him (Via Cash Deposit) I would do wait till my credit card fund clear into your bank account before you proceed to send the driver fund and I hope it probably takes 2/3 days for the money to clear into your bank account, after the funds clears from my credit card into your account, I will be liable for the extra credit card company tax and any form of expense resulting from this request. The driver's total charge is £3,800. Which includes bus hire, damage fee and bringing them down for each session also waiting till the end of it to take them back. So here is the breakdown below:

Dance Lessons Cost: £1,388
Driver Fund: £3,800
Tips Of Helping: £100'

Multi-industry targetting? interesting..

Scammer alert.  Got this one today listed at the bottom from "Paul Fowler" and the one about two kids training and request to reimburse driver from a "James Owen." Email: cpr4233@gmail.com in June 2021.  The one in June came through a legitimate business page request form.  "Thanks for getting back to me on my inquiry.
I want to set up a fitness training appointment for my kids. A private group training for 2 people, 1 Female aged 18 (Leslie) and the Male (Kirk age- 19) for a period of 1 month, 1hr daily 3 times a week. The kids need to gain strength, mobility, and flexibility. None of them have any injuries.
I want the sessions to be at your Gym. If you are available to handle this, let me know how much you'll charge per session.

Kindly get back to me with the total cost for you to see the both of them 3 times a week for a month.
Also what is your facility address? so i can forward it to the transportation provider i'll be using."

"I'll need you to do me a favor regarding the private driver bringing them. I'm yet to pay them, cause they're a small company and don't have a credit card facility.".

"So I'd need you to charge my card for your service and an extra sum that covers his(driver) payment, with a gratitude tip for you. You'll help me pay him after the funds clears from my credit card, i will be liable for  the % fee and any other form of expense resulting from this request. "

Sounded fishy, unethical and I told him I don't accept gratuities and he could Venmo or Zelle the driver.  Stopped replying to him, blocked and then it was shared a few months later that he tried to scam others from the same site.

This came today directly to my email.  Blocked.
