THats the email I got the scam
[email protected]
I own a web design company and I have gotten emails like this asking me to build a website and ask whether we take credit card. If I say yes, they will say this is for a client of them and will ask me to bill their client directly and transfer their commission from the amount I bill from their client.
They usually have a stolen credit card and once I charge their client and transfer the money to the bank account as their commission, my charge get disputed and I lose the money I transferred to this guy.
Here is the rest of the email.
