Recieved a text saying "good morning" when it was the early evening. He indicated he was hearing impaired and wanted to take firearms classes. Googled the number since I found it odd. Seems it is a scam and he pulled all the instructor numbers from the state directory.

This same number and contact messages me about doing photography of a family reunion.  Willing to pay extra for my travel expenses.  Also offered to pay extra because of holidays.  Wanting to pay with a credit card.  Already telling me they want 8 20 x 24 prints.  Did not ask pricing or any other information.  I believe this to be a scam.

I actually got a check for  $2900 for charges I quoted to be  $1300. He wanted me to send the balance to India.??????? I called the bank that issued the check and it was written on a closed account.
