Scam. Had a very similar inquiry a couple years ago, same “in hospital, can’t speak” BS, different scope of work, same refused to send address until deep into conversation. The more he texted the more it became obvious. If I recall correctly, the...
The "in the hospital" scam is an old one. Stay far away from it. I always ask for at least a company email address. I don't do stuff for people with gmail.com or hotmail.com emails
I’m a Part 107 pilot from Wisconsin and also a member of the Mavic, Neo, and Flip forums. Some would argue I’m a member of Drones Anonymous owning 7 drones. 🙂

The scammer with the same email appeared again using this email: [email protected], same pattern:
Sounds good. I need an initial Aerial shoot of the site at all 4 cardinal directions at 200 & 400ft, an d then there would be a...
All,
My name is Chris, and I'm a retired Special Forces soldier, Part 107 remote pilot, and Independent Contractor. I'm here to network and remain current in the fast-changing developments occurring within the UAS industry.
Thanks for having me...
"..do you do aerial photography service?" Right there, 99.9% scam.
This is what I have done with similar interactions.
Simply look up the property owner and ask them if they have any knowledge of this work just in case this is the 0.1 % legit...

I'm not saying that this is the case here, but often a stolen credit card is used and often "an accidental" overpayment is made. Once you refund the overpayment the entire charge is disputed leaving you out you money for the over payment
That was the only thing I could think of too. I'm also morbidly curious where this goes. I doubt he'll send me any legitimate or verifiable business information, but somehow if he does and things add up, I'll send the link.
Best advice for...

Fairly certain this is a scam, but not sure of the end game here. This sounds like a scam that has gone around before. I was contacted asking if I do aerial photography. I replied that I did and asked what was needed. I was told that there...
@jaja6009 Do you have any idea how much the Elios 3 costs? :oops: Even the Skydio X10 is less than it and has 10x the spatial awareness.

I just flew yesterday with an M3E in a 50ft grid Central Texas and when I hit the 0 grid (restricted) it stopped me. Showing them you flight plan that is contained should be sufficient though. They don't know whether geofencing is on the drone or...
None that I am aware of. Furthermore, if Geofencing is no longer available I'm not sure how they can hold you to that. You may want to speak with a COA official on the matter
I have an existing COA to fly several missions per month next to an airport. The COA stipulates I must utilize geofencing as part of the operational requirements. No longer available from DJI. Are there other options to enable geofencing in DJI...
