I believe it is scammers from Craigslist....if you had something posted recently I betcha that's your answer....they say they are on an oil rig or overseas or not able to use phone but they will pay you through PayPal and then you are to wire money to some body else" their shipping agent" because they can't send you money through PayPal till you do...and they send you a fake PayPal page...so basically when you get an email from them which is every time you post on Craigslist and you tell them to f off learn English etc...they start Skyping you and sending texts via email.....

These people are from India man. They were on Katie several weeks ago. They have thousands of blocks of cell phone numbers from legal Indians here who purchased them here from Verizon and Sprint and they have lots of info on you. They even went to India and saw the people calling inside the boss came outside, closed the door and said, "No, this is not a call center." They scam money from your credit card. A hundred here, a thousand here or there. We cannot prosecute, it's out of the country. Crazy Indians. Don't answer if you don't recognize the number. They call from Illinois, Michigan, Oregon ,D.C., Washington, everywhere. I am so frustrated that I personally will not purchase any products from India. It use to be Nigeria, and Jamaica Man, and now it's India. Or perhaps, The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming. The Police can't help us. I have tried and they said it comes for out of the country. Maybe it is Africa like England said. I am now getting many many calls a day.
I am sick of getting calls from this number. A person with a heavy East Indian accent named "Michael Walker" or one of his cohorts calls and asks for "Mario Stump". I have told them many times that I am not Mario Stump nor do I know Mr. Stump. He claims that he is with the Investigation Department of Pennsylvania and I did get a call back number from him of: 717-257-2333. He was very rude and very persistant and I have asked on numerous occassions to be placed on their do not call list but alas no luck. I have not tried the call back number yet. so If anyone is interested in calling Mr Walker feel free.
