I got this via the JFP’s contact form today:
I’m XXXX,I am an hearing impaired,I would love to know if you can handle website design for a new company and also if you do you accept credit cards ?? kindly get back to me ASAP via my e-mail(XXXX1960@outlook.com) so i can send you the job details.
And thought to myself… well, I guess it’d be rude not to write back, even though this sounds scam-y. But then I googled that whole paragraph and came upon this:

The money quote from iHenix:
Seriously? She wants me to charge her credit card and then send money to someone else? Plus I receive a $200 tip? I hate to use an old cliche but if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
So, just a heads up (and to drop this into Google in case others are searching and need additional confirmation) caveat designer.
