Hi Jeanette,
This is Anne, I also am an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay, and received the same message. I do live in Utah. The phone number is probably a google voice number. We use google voice in our unit to contact customers, each other, and referrals. It's a great system. You choose a number and can type your message on the computer, it will text it for you to phone numbers, and keep track of the conversation.
Anyway, the person probably doesn't live in Utah. I contacted them. It's "a deaf woman named Sandra Wood" who wants $113 worth of product. She claims to be "not a computer expert" doesn't have a credit card so can't order from our websites. She wants me to send me my info, Name, address, & phone. She wants me to mail it to her daughter, Nicole Jones at 321 Honors Dr in Shorewood, IL 60404 for her 21st birthday. She wants to send a certified check from her Red Flags.1. If she contacted me through my website she has my name and number so why does she need it again. 2. She copy pasted the info from the Mary Kay website to the message she sent so she does know computers. 3. She uses a financial clerk. My experience in the past 6 years has been that this is a scam. I send info to these people and give them a Mail Box address at a local mail store. They usually send a $1500 check and say oops my financial clerk made a mistake, can you send the change?
I report them to the police, and photo copy all the info for the police. The address is a good address but is listed to a man John Toth who is in his 70's. Nicole Jones is a common name, and so is Sandra Wood. So when you check online you'll get tons of info that seems to make sense. I'll continue to follow up with this person until I get the "incriminating info" and then turn it in to the police. I agree with you, I think they are either defrauding someone else, or scamming us to defraud us.
You can contact me at www.marykay.com/annelund80 or the reverse for my email if you like. I'm grateful you made this post. It helped me to determine that this too is a scam. Thank you.
