Type of a scam Other

I am a new business advertising on Yelp. This individual messaged my phone wanting a logo and brochure designed. He stated that the photos and text for the brochure was done by a third party and would be supplied to us. After we quoted the work he agreed to the quote. Next he ‘Ask For A Favor". Would we accept his payment in full immediately by credit card. And, would we make the amount for more than double our estimate. He stated that the third party didn’t have the ability to take a credit card payment. So, I could direct deposit his charges into his account. Then he would send us the photos and text for the brochure. I told him no. I feel this might be a scam. I did receive a thank you email in response to the quote we sent him. The name on the reply was Dean Williams
