I have all the work I can handle, and then some so I did not bite when I received this text out of the blue last week. Just curious who these people are.

"RA is requesting a land surveying quote in LaLa Land, preferably Thu 10am or Fri 10am. See detail: www.gosmith.com/s/q9bz-"

Followed by:

"RA is requesting a land surveying quote in LaLa Land. Text 1 if interested, 2 if not interested"

Who is 'gosmith.com'? Never heard of them, never asked for their assistance in finding work.


Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

I inadvertently responded to the same message by texting 666; I was contacted by a Mr. Mephistopheles who said he had system for sale that would redefine surveying (I believe he's based out of the Seattle area). I was intrigued until he told me the price. :imp:;)
