You may have been subjected to something like scam  #1, as described at
http://phonehelp.2truth.com/facts.html

That site also shows how other 800notes visitors have reduced the number of telephone scams and telemarketing calls they receive.  (Links to Amazon's phone blocker devices and apps, as well as government reporting sites are also provided).

Scammer wanted to pay via certified check or money order and include an extra $$ and give it to him at time of pickup.  Requested my personal address from sending payment to.  Texted message back that payment should be sent to my local police department.
