In the past couple weeks I've had on and off connections with a Cynthia "Cindi" Morgan about a job to help her family with moving. She had been replying to me back and forth. I recently received a text message from her and as I kept talking to her she kept replying specifically to my questions, so I thought it was legitimate. She sent me a check in the mail as a signing bonus to keep me committed to the job. I went to deposit the check and it turned out fraudulent. I almost got the cops called on me because of it. Once I told her what happened and she never texted back. Even after I sent her about 4 -5messages. The check is for $4000 so it's hard to turn down. But it's definitely a scam.
I'm in Painesville, Ohio and got an email saying I should text back this number. I posted a Craigslist ad that I was looking for 2bedroom housing for rent.
message to me stated that someone's deaf aunt had housing, do not reply to the email, because not the aunt... and don't bother calling, because the Aunt Barbara is deaf...
So don't reply, don't call, but text who I am, what I am looking for, and what I am willing to pay...
This number is a Google voice number from an app. I also received an email to text the number regarding rental property. So I researched and I called. My belief is that it is being used in attempt to get information to aid in identity theft. I reported thus to several agencies . Bad thing is I really am in urgent need of finding a rental.
