I am a REALTOR and this person contacted me claiming to be the CEO of
the Real Estate Company and stating that he was in a meeting and needed
me to go to the store and pick up seven $100.00 GOOGLE gift cards, and
send him copies of the number on the backs of the cards along with copy of
the receipt where I had paid for them!
I have no idea what his real name was and have no clue how he got my
contact information unless he had somehow gotten a company directory!
I told him that he was an idiot and after several contacts and his telling me
that he really needed my help,
he reduced his wants to $100.00 and finally to whatever I would send him
because he really needed my help!
I finally told him to never contact me again and blocked his number!
It would seem that "panhandling" has gone Hi Tech!
