Beware, Lypotherapists: Massage Therapy Scam

Attention Lypotherapists and Massage Therapists:

There is a scam going around targeting massage industry professionals.  The scam is a variation on the “Nigerian Banking Scam.”  An “international massage therapist” contacts a massage therapist in the U.S. on behalf of their client, a “model.”  The model then exchanges emails with the US massage therapist, requesting their bank account information to directly deposit the check into it.  After providing this information, the massage therapist’s bank account was overdrawn.

Thank you to Lypotherapist Stacy Sims for alerting us to this scam.  And remember that knowledge is power!  So keep yourself in the know.
