Same thing happened to me tonight. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I thought the whole thing sounded really weird as he was texting me.

So glad I googled his number before I even responded to him. He gave me the same story about his 2 daughters which sounded like a scam. Thx for posting!

Thank you for this!  I am a personal trainer and he texted/emailed me the exact story about his two daughters. I played a long for [***] and giggles telling him I didn't take credit cards but would accept cash via western union.

He just tried it on me as well glad I found this

Got a text and an email from this guy "Robert". Said he was in the army and has a tumor in his ear affecting his hearing so couldn't call. Asked about services my business offered. Do not respond to this number.
