I received a call from 1 214-879-0000 on July 28,2008 at 12:12AM - woke me up! The person on the end of the line said that they were a "Deaf Person Translator" who had been asked to respond to my ad in the Seattle Times for my Desert Lynx Kittens. Would I please email him at
[email protected] within the next 5 - 15 minutes. I have included the email that was returned to me once I sent an introductory message about my kittens. Notice, in the return email to me he doesn't ask anything about the kittens I have left, ex. Gender, Color, Personality etc. This guy is a real scammer. I believe he was trying to steal my identity. I would like to report him to the Feds, but who would I contract?
