I got emails through AMTA 11/30/12 & 12/06/12 asking me to call because they need a massage and medical assistance and it's signed with a name and an email.

Wow... me too.  It just felt funny to me that he said, "Dear Therapist."  Who does that!??!?!  I'm also a massage therapist.  I've never before checked on a new possible client.. but this just got me.  Glad we're all in it together.  :)

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

I got the same email from Eddy Mac on Nov 29 and Dec 10. It didn't feel right as the number was from the Seattle area, but we have a lot of military people here in Hampton Roads, VA, so it could have been legit. Sure glad I googled Eddymac74 and got this site!  Always trust your gut feeling, as Stable Hands TM stated!

I got the same email from this guy: jamesmagan50@yahoo.com It was through the AMTA massage therapist profile. I did not get a phone call.

I also received the same emails as above with the two names mentioned.  I will contact the AMTA and mention again that they try to block this person.  I thought it was weird and did respond to the first email, heard nothing back.  When the second one came, I realized it wasn't legit and saw that the same phone # was used both times.  Also weird that I am Northern MA and the number is from Seattle area, ( although could be a cell) so here I am.  Hope no one falls for any type of scams.  Just be careful out there, and trust your gut!

Did anything come of it?? What is their scam??

Got the same email through AMTA locator service. I could tell there was something wrong with it. It listed tje same name eddy mac and same tel number and email address. AMTA needs to investigate this.

I received an email just as all of you have stated - asking for medical assistance, with that phone number provided. Thank you for taking the time to report your experience so we can all compare notes and prevent making contact with someone trying to scam us.

Got the message too and have no intention, obviously, of returning the call.

I also got this email through the AMTA search.  Luckily I came here too!  Just didn't feel right!  Guess that is why, as massage therapists, we use our intuition.  Hope somebody gets this creeper!

I received one from this guy too. It was vague so I googled the number... Hope everyone else has the same instinct to avoid people like this.

I, too, received the following email through AMTA. I have not yet confirmed fraud, but I always research before contacting any internet referrals just in case:

I got an email from this eddymac too. It came through the AMTA website but just didn't feel right so I googled the address and found I'm not the only one. Gotta love the internet.

mine came by e-mail.  (generated from the AMTA.  happened about 5 years ago to.

Same as the rest of you.

I got one too.  I forwarded it to the AMTA and asked them to try to block them.  We can't block them, as far as I know, without blocking anything from the locator service.  And some MT's have fallen for crazy scams.  It would be annoying enough to have wasted time trying to help an ailing potential client.

I got 2 e-mails that use this number as well both asked for medical assistance.  The name on one e-mail was the same as above (eddy mac), the other e-mail was from jamesmagan50@yahoo.com.  

I am a licensed massage therapist in PA and the e-mails were generated from my listing on the Find a Massage Therapist profile on the AMTA Website.

I am not sure what this is but based on the fact that 2 e-mails list the same number and the post above, I assume this is some kind of scam.

this fake number associated with a fake email eddymac74@yahoo.com
keeps contacting me for medical assistance
