WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION
Debby Scott <scottmoore110@outlook.com>
Hello,this is Mrs Debby Scott, I'm hearing impaired and I'll like to know if you render Total water damage restoration and if you do accept credit card as a form of payment? Thank you.

Just like the oriental rug scam with the hearing impaired, this is a ripoff. She will pay you $5,000.00 charged to her credit card and you give her back $4000.00. Then when completed she will pay you for the rest.

Has this scam ever worked on anyone?
If a business owner fell for that scam they might need to rethink being a business owner.

One of my supervisors was responding back and asked what I thought.

Probably to some very ignorant individuals. They also believed the rugs one for a while. Gullible people!

Give her customer 4000 back?

She might be hearing impaired but I aint brain impaired enough to fall for that.

U notta gonna getta me likes dat.

Its going around. I guess they got tired of doing the rug cleaning scam and have moved it to restoration.

I told him I wasnt interested and sent him to Chavez. I give out his number to all the scammers.

I played along with one of those scams once. I was telling them everything under the sun.

Eventually I told him I could rewrite his letter so it sounds more believable for a cut in the profits.
