He doesn’t need your name or bank info, either. I did chuckle when I saw the photos, lol.
IIRC, you’ll receive a payment for more than the $600 and then you’ll have to issue a refund. Since everything is done electronically, I think that’s when you get robbed? The link on the bottom is from FTC.
If you have the patience, keep him hanging while you report his phishy scam. That is definitely a child model posing for a photo!
Good luck, my friend. Gonna bookmark this post in case of updates.
