Scam Response: 

Thanks for getting back to me on my inquiry.

I want to set up a fitness training appointment for my kids. A private group training for 2 people, 1 Female aged 18 (Leslie) and the Male (Kirk age- 19) for a period of 1 month, 1hr daily 3 times a week.

The kids need to gain strength, mobility, and flexibility. They are into swimming and basketball. None of them have any injuries.

I want the sessions to be at your Gym. If you are available to handle this, let me know how much you'll charge per session.

Kindly get back to me with the total cost for you to see the both of them 3 times a week for a month.

Also what is your facility address? so i can forward it to the transportation provider i'll be using.

Scam & credit card fraud attempt—a response from an Instructor:
Asked to run 3 different credit cards with 3 different state zip codes and all have declined. Asked the favor that he pay more than normal training rate to cover a private driver for his kids who supposedly would be doing the training. Instructor asked him to meet in person for the payment but they have yet to respond.

DO NOT RESPOND TO THESE TYPE OF MESSAGES!
