The Switch - Scam Alert
I was still skeptical because of the grammar and now the odd question. I was able to contact this "Alex" and it was a very poor connection, and his English was labored. He wanted to pay with Credit Card and wanted to pay a higher amount so that I could pay his project manager who supposedly had all the content and logos. As soon as I heard this it confirmed my previous suspicions "SCAM".

Scam Averted - Share With Your Colleagues
After getting off the phone, (scammers phone number (925) 318-1402 )I did a Google search for scams targeting website designers and found the exact second email I received in the comments for the article about the new scam.
So beware designers you are one of the newest targets. I was able to detect this threat in time but sooner would have been better. I am sure many of my fellow designers will also be targeted so I wanted to get the word out quickly. Please share this with your communities.
