Do I reply to this BS and see what happens?

This is the 4th message, and his initial opener included a company I worked for previously. So basically, his hook was utter BS in an attempt to try and sell me a franchise.

Poor tactics from the get go. But not as bad as fake spammers. I think.....

What would you do?

Dear ______,

I hope you're doing well. I wanted to reach out one last time regarding franchise ownership opportunities in ______. If you're interested, I'd love to have a quick chat with you before moving. Please let me know if you're available for a call.

Best regards,

Patrick

I'm hesitant on anything where they want to sell you on a franchise idea in which it's likely you need to invest x amount and also dedicate a bunch of time and if it's newer brand recognition marketing and advertising are all things that scare the shit out of me

I think the same dude tried me. Over and over.
As you should all know, franchises are never easy places to park your money and start raking in profits. They take an enormous amount of work to run properly, and still may fail. For someone who wants to retire when she retires, it's a no.

Don't waste your time unless you are super ok with getting a franchise of whatever the hell it is

Well. I would recommend deleting it and saving yourself some time and energy.

Or... You could reply to bs with some bs and see how the bs evolves and watch chaos unfold 🙈🙉🙊🔥🔥🔥

I mean, if you have the time & energy and can share the unfolding saga (that last point is key), then go for it.
Other than that, delete.

I get inbound all of the time like this. If you see and understand what it is, just let it go.
