The appointments and times are scheduled. In the most common version of this scam, an out-of-town 'client' contacts a practitioner via email wanting to schedule appointments for a time in the future when he/she will be visiting the area. Please be vigilant and savvy, especially if someone asks for a “favor” in which they overpay you on a credit card and ask you to return cash. Please note! ABMP has received many reports of this scam. We have updated the examples below with the most recent examples we have received. Update February 13, 2017: ABMP is seeing a resurgence in members reporting a scam involving a request for massage.
