Who called from 2898881869

I received an email solicitation for my law firm's services to collect a debt.  These messages are common (I get about 6/week), and usually are the infamous Nigerian scam, but this one looked fully legitimate.  Upon running the number before calling, I encountered this site, so now I am quite leery.

I am an IT Manager and I am seeing this number slot on our spam filter.  His email address is [email protected].  Would be nice to have him stopped.

Got the Hossa message. One of the best yet. An evolution of the divorce or equipment claim matter in "your jurisdiction" Hard to understand why any one, especially, a lawyer would fall for this scam. Maurice B
