Wilson Morgan Payment Scam Targeting Designers Internet
Report Attachments
I was contact by a person via text. They said they were hearing impaired and wanted a website designed. They also asked straight away if I accepted payment by credit card. Searching the person's name/phone/email (email was provided to get details of project) I found a listing on the website reportscam.com.
Here's the brief explination: He will push for getting the project started quickly and offer a large downpayment. This is because he has a stolen credit card and needs to use it before it's reported. Then, he asks for a favor: pass on a large payment to a 3rd party (another designer or something). So he pays you 5k by credit card, and asks you to wire 2.3k to the other designer. You get a nice $200 tip for doing him the favor. Then the person who had their credit card stolen reports the theft. You lose the 5k, and are still out the 2.3k you wired to the 3rd party.
