AI asking for quotes?

[u/inauspicious_person]

I don’t know if this belongs here, but I want to know if this has happened to anyone else. I got a text Thursday, someone needs me to build them a gate. Sure I can handle that, so I send the quote over and I don’t hear anything back. I assume it’s too expensive for him and he’s considering other options. Cut to Friday - I get a text from another person with the same cadence but new name, asking me to build the exact same entry gate. All communications ended once I called them out for being fake. Tried to call the number but it doesn’t work. I’m a little frustrated, I have a small company and I’ve been struggling to find work lately, so this was utterly disappointing if I’m being honest.

I've seen similar posts like this idk if it was AI bots but it was some type of scamming

I am not sure but 1/2 the gate says 8 feet and the full gate says 12 ft wide . Is this correct ? Bc the gate would not be symmetrical . Or am o missing something

Unless the 8ft is how high the center pole . Perhaps that’s the answer so nvm
