Who called from 2056773944

robo call about dental plans.  I hung up as soon as I realized what it was.

caller said they Legal Support Group...and that we have 24 hrs. to comply about some BOGUS SCAM that if we don't comply we will be served with a summons...they called all week just about...we contacted the Attorney Generals office in hopes they can help stop these Volgers.

I received a text message from  (205) 677-3944 where the person was saying they were responding about an item I was selling on Craigslist & that they were wondering if it was still  available or not? The person asked me to email them back at [email protected].
So I sent an email to her, 1st off asking which item it was that she was interested in, due to the fact that I had actually posted several items for sale this day & her text didn't say anything about which ad it was that she was inquiring about?
And just a few minutes later I got a strange reply back from her! This 2nd email said that she wouldn't be able to meet me to pick-up in person but that instead she'd need to mail me a cashiers check through the post office in order to pay me for it & that she'd then also pay for her own shipping cost so that I can send her the item express mailed through UPS.
BUT even after she explained all that to me in her email, she STILL never once acknowledged which product it was that she even wanted to buy from me!!! It was really weird, like some kinda crazy spam-scam or something! I don't know if this is something anyone else has ever experienced through Craigslist or maybe through any connection to this phone # but I just wanted to be sure to share it here just so that the story of this situation is out there for others to see if they're ever trying to look up this # or e-mail address or even this person thats name is associated with it (Beatriz Lipsky & it says the 205 area code is somewhere in Alabama? Note: I myself don't live in Alabama at all & my Craigslist ad  that she's responding to me about is posted from my state of Missouri!)

Craigslist, Kiiji, AutoTrader, Etc. Scam:

The scam works like this.  Communication is always by text or email for some made up reason such as they are deaf, they deployed and can't use their phone (then how did the text get out?), etc.  They think your item as described is perfect.  They might ask a few questions about it, and then will pay your asking price, sight unseen, because they are never around close by to come look at it (they use the stationed somewhere in the military a whole lot, or working overseas, or on an oil rig in the middle of the ocean, or simply fill in your own job here).  They will give you an extra $40 or $50 to hold it for them.  Then they tell you they will send a cashier’s check or money order for that amount plus extra for the “shipper”.  They ask you to wire that extra money by untraceable means such as Western Union or Moneygram.  The check or money order turns out to be bogus and you end up out the money you sent plus the bank fees.  Also, if the check is big enough you may end up being charged criminally.  Take the check and the envelope it came in to the post office and have them forward it to the postal inspectors.

Received the same message today via text: "Hi, i'm interested in your Applicance Ad on CL Pls email me on [email protected] if its still available. Thanks." Phone number showed up as 765-273-3043. Thanks for the warning!
