I removed the phone # as I don't want anyone here falling for it! Scammers are everywhere.

Sounds like those scams where someone hires someone and that someone hires someone else, on and on and on.

Where did he learn to spell? Let me get this straight you send him money and a sewn item, and if he hires you you might get it returned? I don't think I'd fall for this at all.

Hehe! This product he's got in demand may be the "samples" people will send him to get the job. hahaha!

And from the sounds of it you get to do all the work as he can't sew.

What a joke! It's so imbecilic it's silly. Unfortunately it's always the sweetest and most honest people who believe this stuff and get taken.
