Strange call/texts .. what do you think?

[SteffiMc]

You are like me .. i don't do male clients either. And being that i am mobile just makes me worry a little more i suppose.
I understand 'bluerinse' says they are not really men though, but guess its like not knowing the unknown as said previously.
I also panic that some people may just say these things to get me in to their home, then once i'm there, there is nothing i can do if i sense bad vibes and untruthful things have been told to me.

Yeh thats the thing with being mobile you never know who you are turning up to this is why I didn't really want to do it but unfortunately I have bills and a family to keep and no1 in my area is looking for a stylist of my level (only qualified under a year). Also my lack of experience causes me to panic before every client I do, all good so far mainly thanks to the sound advice I get on here . But hate the worry about everything and anything :-/ xx

NEVER do anything you dont want to do-where mobile treatments are concerned.
Yes, you have money to make and a family to keep, but money is not everything and your safety, wellbeing and instincts are the most important.

Yeh true Hun I know, I would just rather be in a salon but can't find one looking in my area :o. Think keeping hubby informed of where I am should do for now, I have a lovley big dog for safety when people come to me and I live inside an army camp it's only when I go to people outside of it the worry is there, to be fair I'm a worrier over anything :-/ xx

Im not really sure if this is the right place to put this thread, but personally thought this was strange.. please tell me what you think..
Ok, so i had a call earlier from a number i did not recognise, i answered it and said hello, but the person then just hung up.
Straight after they hung up, i received a text from them saying
"Can u style my hair plz hun"
I replied saying
"Sorry, who is this?"
They then said
"It's catherine"
I replied saying
"Do i know you?"
And she wrote back
"No so can u style my hair"
I didn't reply straight away as i thought it all sounded a bit odd and for someone who doesn't know me? But then she sent another text about 5 mins after saying..
"Can i tell u something in confidence plz"
I wrote back saying
"This is obviously a wind up so please refrain from texting again"
And she said
"No its not hun"
And so i said
"Well you wouldn't want to tell me something in confidence when you have no idea who i am? So stop texting now please"
And i didn't get a reply?!

What would you think about that? .. Do you think i am wrong for assuming that it is a wind up? Or would you think this all sounded a bit weird too?

yeah, that's weird. i get anonymous calls and texts like that but not THAT weird. do you still have the phone number?

oh i got a good idea. why don't you look it up through this consumer protection site Report Phone Number to CallerCenter.com if that phone number comes up, then you'd be able to confirm that it's either a prank call or a scammer and not just some person you know. and if it doesn't, go file a complaint. with a lot of people visiting the site every day, it's the best venue to post a warning against them.
