π¨ How to spot a cake order scam in less than 30 seconds.
I get messages like this every so often, and they almost always follow the same script.
π© They "accidentally" overpay.
π© They ask you to send money to someone else.
π© They insist on paying by check.
π© They have someone else/a bus picking up the order.
If you ever get a message like this, don't deposit the check or send anyone money.
Hopefully this helps another small business avoid getting scammed. π« Stay safe!
