I got the same text.  thanks to all for reporting it and keep posting these phony texts so no one gets burned!

Wow, same number text me.    Email address was something like psm0012@hotmail.com.  She  said she was deaf and other consultants weren't helpful when they found out she was deaf. I wasn't suspicious until she said she'd send me a certified check and was going to entrust me with her money and send the rest back the rest for her daughters wedding. before reading this I had already told her I'd take the check to my bank and once it cleared I'd send her the change. She said it would come by US mail. So we'll see, but what in the world kind of scam would she benefit if someone waited til bank cleared check. So far she's not sent me her address. And I sure won't order Mary Kay til I have her address and money in hand. Doubt I hear from her since I emailed her I'd have to wait until check cleared.

I got the same msg from this number with the name linda. These people are CRAZY and I cant believe they would say they are deaf. I don't get some people. So don't fall for this scam. I also got a msg from 636-344-0476 saying her name was Hannah and she was deaf to and really wanted to place a 600 dollar order and wanted me to send her some extra cash if she had some left over...

I got this message last night.  I've been getting this same message in one form or another every month since I started my Mary Kay website.  Has MK done anything to stop this?  NO!  I stopped reporting it after 6 months because it's been happening to me for almost 3 years.  It is a SCAM.  If they really wanted to order something, they can place it thru your website.  How else are they finding out you sell Mary Kay? What I can tell you is this is to spread the word to your Directors and other consultants that these people are out there and that if they send you texts asking for you to send them your email, phone numbers, home addresses and other things to be very careful and not fall for it, no matter what they say.  If they are really serious about ordering, tell them to order it from your website.  It will shoot you an email with their order.  The number I got today was 269-339-0608 and the woman said her name was Linda.  Stay safe!

I am also a MK Consultant on MS/AL Gulf Coast who received a text from "Linda" via phone # 269-330-0608 ...
"Hi, am Linda. I would love to order some MaryKay products. Get back to me at (psm0012@hotmail.com). I will be waiting for your email so I can let you know what I need ASAP!"  

I emailed her and said that I received the text and told her I would be happy to help her. I gave her my website address and also asked how she heard about me. I'm sure when she saw that question, she decided to not reply!

I'm glad I decided to google the email address as that's how I found this page and the warning of it being a SCAM!
