Says he is hearing impaired so he can only text.  Also about about to go into surgery for lung cancer.  Wants to contract my company to do work on a property but his name dose not show on the title search.

Same here, he wants to hire my photography company to shoot an event, but said that the venue won't accept his payment, so he need me to get paid for the venue and then let the venue charge me for their part... Scam much?

Same deal, scammer asking about services, wanting to pay with credit card, etc etc.

yes! same with me. Scammer all the way

Contacted my wedding photo business by text message. Seemed shady, so I googled the sender's number and it took me here. Glad that people post the phone numbers associated with spam. I get so many unwanted solicitations and attempted scams via my cell. So I looked up the phone number to LA office of FBI and texted this the scammer with this message:  "Call us at 310-477-6565. We need voice verification. Please turn on your GPS feature before calling so we can verify your location. Thanks!"  Didn't hear back from scammer.
