Hello Everyone, When you publish your phone number in desilouisville, be prepared to receive lot of scam calls from IRS/Police Department.. etc.. I posted an advt here last week and next day I received a call from +1911 number. He says that they have a warrant to arrest me for an IRS case and they asked me where I am currently located. Initially I got scared and later I smelled something wrong. I told I am standing in the second traffic signal of manhattan and you can come and pick me. Then he immediately hang up the phone down. They are not expecting a victim from every phone call they make. They are expecting one out of hundred or thousand. Especially many people gets panic when they are new to this country. I discussed this with this many of my friends here and they have received the same fake calls as soon as they put some ads here. So guys.. please don't get panic with this calls. If you are smart enough , you can take them for a nice ride... :) Or limit not to publish any personal contacts visible to public.
Yup I too had a similar experience. One other thing I would like to point out is inquiries for buying your stuff but payment to be made via check. I had posted an ad to sell some stuff and got an email from a person (shaansahil224@gmail.com) showing interest in buying the item. He said his movers will give me check and pick up the item. Obviously I dint fall for his trick. Another scammer goes by the name Satya Sai and uses saisatyaforever@gmail.com. Hope this helps...
