Received text messages from this number wanting to purchase a camera I had listed on KSL. Insisted that I set up a pay pal account so that she "Monica" could send me the money right now, asking that I ship the camera with a B-Day note. She went into this story about how she was buying this as a B-Day gift for her daughter but she was hospitalized for 2 weeks due to kidney surgery. Very persistent!!!
Posted an expensive DSLR camera on KSL classifieds and started getting texts from this #. They indicated they would buy the camera for full price. I replied telling the person my phone cannot send out text messages but I can read them, and so I prefer a phone call. I kept getting texts and so I googled the # and found many posts indicating it was a scammer. Immediately after leaving a voice message at the # that I was turning them in I called it back and got the recording that it was disconnected.
I am glad I checked out this malicious persons #.
Posted a laptop in Bismanonline. Got the same text about the b-day gift and the daughter, etc. Told her was cash only and I could not ship it anywhere. (i'd been reading all these posts as her and I were going back and to via text). Then I got the kidney surgery line. My response: "LOL no favors. Sorry about your surgery lasting for so many months now. Maybe find someone else to scam. I googled your number and knew about your kidney surgery. Lemme guess...you want my paypal info and for me to send it to an embassy??? Sorry honey I am way ahead of you. Bwaaahahahahaha."
