Scammers By Passing Email Direct to Phone Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] (#13) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Scott Paterson) on Sat, 5 Mar 2005 11:07:53 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Just fyi... scammers are skipping email and using Internet Relay Operators (which I believe are free) to contact US folks who are selling stuff on the net.

>THANK YOU so much for posting the article for the over paying scam. Our scam came via a phone call. The caller used an internet relay service and was claiming to be interested in our car we have for sell. She agreed to pay $4500,in the form a cashier's check, for a $900 car and told us that we would then need to send the rest of the money to her shipper. We'd never heard of such a thing and thought it sounded fishy, we then searched the internet for help and we found your article. THANK YOU again!!
