Location: So. Cali.		Wanted to share as just a heads up as I was contacted based off my ad on this site posted yesterday. I know I've heard before about people being contacted via FB msg needing someone for the movies. This one came via text, however I received two texts at the same time. One notifying me that a yahoo user was sending me a SMS from the numbers 1111440600 and then the actual text itself asking if the horse was still available from 11110440601.

In short, the person claimed they were 'scouting in so cal' and would I ride the horse for said movie person for $400 a minute. I wished them luck in their search and they quit texting.

Not sure how to report something like this since it's a 'private' form of contacting someone.

Location: Kansas		I never heard of them using texts so that is definitely new, but the idea for the scam is the same.

I recieved one on facebook......creeped me out so I blocked the person.
