Find Your Flower Shop Network has received several reports of a new twist to an old scam.
In the old scam, florists received a call through the hearing impaired service from a caller wanting to order several $200 wedding arrangements. The caller was willing to pay a large sum of money for the flowers using a credit card. The caller would have a courier service pick up the flowers. The catch – they wanted the florist to charge the credit card and give the courier service cash.
The new scam is basically the same scenario, but the contact is made through email.
All florists should be aware of this scam and be wary of any order that sounds to good to be true.
