    859-786-1301 SCAM Name is Umair

    This person decided to start texting me and asking about my buying process. When asked for them to call me they said they didnt speak good english and would like to do it all by texts. Umair is what they said their name was. Said they were in California yet the number comes back to Kentucky. What tiped me off to a possible scam is they asked for Full name, shipping address, product name, number on order, state, zip code, phone number, email address. Why would anyone need all this info to ship me something? Anyway take it for what you want but I wanted to give everyone else here a heads up.
