Caller ID says, "Dallas TX 972-863-0925" (this was for the phone scam thing, but it seems this number too is owned by the sam ISP & is just another scam - see below, they could be anywhere, even terrorists out of the country!) & guy called a family member to, "verify" my information, called my cell & left a message about, "multiple complaints" (didn't specify what 'complaints', yet said he was an attorney working with the commonwealth of my area... LOL, we don't have those where I live!)

Whoever these people or this person is, they've been busy & are using multiple phone numbers from apparently the same ISP.

The phone scam is known well by the FBI (It was on the 1st page I brought up on a google search for scams w/ the phone number that called a relative, then me) & appears, from the info they have, to be connected to a data electronic break-in that was done to a hospital I had been to. This family member's cell has never been used for any other purpose, except for emergencies & for myself and family to call.

Checked out the phone number & it comes back to a VoIP service that is owned by http://bandwidth.com/

As per the FBI's web site at http://www.fbi.gov/scams-safety/e-scams :
"New Variation on Telephone Collection Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

02/21/12?The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) continues to receive complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. As previously reported in December 2010, the typical payday loan scam involves a caller who claims the victim is delinquent on a payday loan and must make payment to avoid legal consequences.

Callers pose as representatives of the FBI, ?Federal Legislative Department,? various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies and claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, or other Internet check-cashing services. The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment in attempts to obtain payment. The callers refuse to provide information regarding the alleged payday loan or any documentation and become verbally abusive when questioned.

The IC3 has observed variations of this scam in which the caller tells the victim that there are outstanding warrants for the victim?s arrest. The caller claims that the basis of the warrants is non-payment of the underlying loan and/or hacking. If it?s the latter, the caller tells the victim that he or she is wanted for hacking into a business? computer system to steal customer information. The caller will then demand payment via debit/credit card; in other cases, the caller further instructs victims to obtain a prepaid card to cover the payment.

The high-pressure collection tactics used by the fraudsters have also evolved. In one recent complaint, a person posed as a process server and appeared at the victim?s job. In another instance, a phony process server came to a victim?s home. In both cases, after claiming to be serving a court summons, the alleged process server said the victim could avoid going to court if he or she provided a debit card number for repayment of the loan.

If you are contacted by someone who is trying to collect a debt that you do not owe, you should:

Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger;
Contact your bank(s) and credit card companies;
Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file;
If you have received a legitimate loan and want to verify that you do not have any outstanding obligation, contact the loan company directly;
File a complaint at www.IC3.gov ."

I got the exact same message from him word for word.

I just ran his email though a google search to see what i could turn up, as i felt the email was suss.

Turns out he more than likely is.

Got the same message and text. I replied and got this back.

Thanks for the response, i will buy it for $1050 AUD including PayPal surcharges since i am interested in it as an immediate purchase. Let me know if my offer is accepted because the item is needed in United Kingdom and i will be making use of a private courier agent who will come for the pick up after the payment have been made ...so no shipping included in my offer as i will take care of that and have it delivered to me. Further arrangements will be made with you in regards to the pick up once i have paid you.

I would appreciate if you email me with more pictures (if available) too since i won't be able to come over to see this in person due to the nature of my job and location as am a very busy type and i work long hours everyday, i have gone through your advertisement and i am satisfied with it. As for the payment, i will be paying you via the fastest and secure PayPal online payment. You can now send me your PayPal email so i can make arrangement for the payment right away. If you don't have a paypal account, you can easily set up one...log on to www.paypal.com.au and sign up. its very  easy. Hope to read back from you ASAP.




Suss as!

Also received a message from Satgoo to my ad on Australian Gumtree. "let me know price for your Gumtree Ads posted still available. Thanks and hope to read back from you asap joodajo @  yahoo.com"

Very dodgy indeed. I have replied just to see what he does.

Just received a txt asking to email joodajo @ gmail.com and asking for final price even tho this is clearly listed in the add. No number appeared from txt, just the word satgoo. I've been scammed via eBay so extra cautious now....I did reply via txt but then checked online....very glad I did.

just got about 5 emails from this guy asking for final price and more information its 110% scammer they sit there and watch for big companies/businesses to advertise on gumtree - they texted me and emailed

Advertised expensive item on gumtree and got text message from this number asking for condition and final price (even though clear enough in ad) and asking to email joodajo @ gmail.com - is his /her email.
Looked dodgy - glad had it confirmed that it's probably a scammer.

Hi, yes I just received two of the same from the same number for items i recently advertised on gumtree. Both were big ticket items worth a heap of cash.

I got an sms asking me to state the condition and prices of all the items I have listed for sale on Gumtree (I only have one item and it's the first time I've tried to sell a personal item).
He asks me contact him at his gmail address and says his name is Jerad Lucas.
I've deleted it.

Dodgy person trying to get my bank details to supposedly purchase an item from me on gumtree.  Glad I checked on here though as I don't know how or why someone from texas USA would want to purchase an old used dining table
