Who called from 4152510374

Attached to a suspicious email supposedly offering a "driving job" for the spouse of a "Barrister jeffrey Gila"...

The severely broken english definitely does not represent a true Law/Legal Professional in the United States/Washington as the USA don't commonly use the term "Barrister" anyway. It's more of a British/Commonwealth term.
Also the fact that in the ads and emails the person so strongly emphasizes the fact he's a Barrister is just random and suspicious...

I found his ad for a driving job on Kijiji (Canada = Toronto,ON). The broken english in the ad made me suspicious and a couple of weeks after applying I received and email that pretty much guarantees that this is a Nigerian/Uganda style internet fraud scam of some kind. Anyone who's dealt with these scams will see what I mean.  I've recently experienced another similar scam = read the link for more info...

I will post the related advert if I can find it again and also the email I received.

This phone number was attached at the bottom and so I thought I should post it here and if anyone else has experience/dealings with these people please let me know.

Thanks
