Does this look like a scam somehow to anyone but me? I am skeptical because he pushed to give me cc

Fwd: I will give you my card info know and i want you to charge additional $4500 plus your $3000 deposit to start my project on the house. So once the transactions is cleared into your account you will withdraw the agent payment as form of $4500 out from your account to deposit in the provided bank account info on my behalf, Once he confirm the transaction in his account an approval then you can state working at the property.

I don't know the context of this if it is a customer you already have or an email out of the blue, but It does not look good at all.  I would not accept payments from a customer that I am supposed to then pass on to someone else, as this will cause income tax problems down the line possibly.  Spelling errors and all the normal scam earmarks are in that statement.

Hey @Liberty01 - I'm with @VanKalkerFarms on this. We recommend only accepting payments that you are comfortable taking. If you're feeling unsure, it's better to be safe and decline. Feel free to read more about our suggested Best Practices for Accepting Payment Cards.
