BEWARE THEY ARE AT IT AGAIN IN THE WORLD OF MARY KAY
I received this via text: Hello, I am Amy I will like to order some Mary Kay product, please can you email me at amy7578@gmail.com Thank you
I respond:
Hi Amy! Thank you for reaching out to me, I'd be glad to help you I'll send you an email let's arrange a time to talk.
I sent her my generic thank you for reaching out to me I'd love to be your IBC, let's setup a free consultation, explained she can order online, FREE shipping all the good stuff.
She then responds (to their NEW scam):
Thanks a lot for getting back to me, I'm Amy with M&G Modeling & Promotions from Tulsa, Oklahoma, we are coming to your town for a showbiz/photo shoot in mid May and we would like to order the items listed below, we would have preferred to order directly from Mary Kay website but for now all our purchases are done with paper payment so I would need you to get the under listed items for me:
SKIN CARE:
Mary Kay® Oil Mattifier
Velocity® Lightweight Moisturizer 4 fl. oz.
TimeWise Repair™ Volu-Firm™ Foaming Cleanser 4.5 oz.

Please get back to me ASAP with the total cost and including the sales tax I'm to pay for those items and also the Name and Address where you want the payment sent including a phone number I could reach you on in case of necessity (Please Phone Number is Essential). After I receive this information I would ask my sponsors to send you the payment which would be in form of Certified check/Cashier's Check which you can cash instantly at your bank. Please get back to me as soon as possible so I can continue with the purchase, I will personally come to pick up the items in person as soon as we get to your town but I want you to have the funds in advance so please send me the quotations and details needed to send you payment.
I'll be looking forward to hearing from you.
SEEMED FISHY TO ME!
However I did respond to her with an invoice on all the products she requested, even mentioned I can send her a propay link to make the payment directly online was very polite and asked her by the way whom referred you to me?
She responded:
Thank you I will let my director know immediately so that you can get your payment on time. Mary Kay recommended you.
That's when I was like this is NOT real or right, I just started, and why wouldn't they just contact a rep in "Oklahoma" not how we do business I tried calling her no answer so I ended up Googling the modeling company, nothing, the name nothing and then the number popped up this blog ((http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-209-217-1151/4)) about this scam she or whoever they are running using different names and numbers
I haven't heard from her again yet and will not be responding but will be giving all this information to the authorities.
Caller: Amy Peter
