Ugh, this guy calls me several times a week. I'm on the no-call list, I report them to the FTC every time they call, and twice I've waited to get patched through to the "travel rep" to ask them to remove me. It's infuriating.
On a related note, I'm curious about a scam that popped up when I added a Craigslist ad the other day; I normally include my number, because I live in the midwest and people buying construction material don't have email; that's never been an issue.
But this time, I've gotten two separate robo text-messages asking I reply via email to magalife3@gmail.com. Googling highlights this person is spamming a few public places as well: https://www.google.com/search?q=+magalife3%40gmail.com https://www.google.com/search?q=+magalife3%40gmail.com
Curious if anyone else has come across something like that - is it just a way to get past spam filters by having me make an outbound email to the scammer?
- gowld 9y agoGoogle search is amazing. #4 result for me is this article, which predates the popular usage of "MAGA" and doesn't include "magalife3" in the page content, but exactly answers your question. http://livingstingy.blogspot.com/2015/01/is-item-still-available-craigslist-scams.html http://livingstingy.blogspot.com/2015/01/is-item-still-avail... Gem of a line on that page: "In reality, only poor people use Western Union, so don't be a poor person and just stop using it. "
