Received this text however I know no one in that area now or ever..."I still think about how we left things. I wish we could meet up and talk about what went wrong. I’m not expecting to get back together. I’d just like to get closure. Would you be willing to talk?"

Anyone know who this is ???

Said that there was a problem with my social security number. To push #1 to connect. This is a scam. Caller ID said "Walmart". Call came from ******ia

SCAM ARTISTS-Very Advance using Ghost Software. Call the Police!

Received call 3/12/2011 at 8:50 PM. I got the familiar "click sound " after I said*****o twice. I think that indicates a automated calling system.

wants to know the name of serviceprovider for my telephone.

This gentleman claims to be a Mr. Jamesly Duvra who is in Miami Florida, he has several ads on pet classified sites claiming to sell pairs of African Grey Parrots for $500.00.  He asks for your name and address information and phone number in the first email, then in his next email he sends you a link to a site where you can make an online wired payment for the sum $500.00 which he says he must have before he will consent to send you his birds.  I sent him the following email:Not so fast please, I need to know a few things before we proceed with any payments:1) While I do not doubt that you are who you say you are, I need a "company" name, and some references, like BBB report or so****ing that lets me know that you are a legitimate company with a history of doing business in Florida.  Ideally, and I must insist on this, I need the names and contact information of at least two people not in Florida, who have purchased birds from you in the past and with whom I can speak and verify that they are happy with their transactions.2) What ins***ution am I making the payment to?  I will not send payment directly to any individual person, I'm sure you can understand with all the scam artists out there, I want to be sure I am not being cheated.  If payment is to be made directly to you, I would prefer to use a holding company or go between, who will take payment and hold it until such time as the birds are guaranteed to be in route.  A***n, I hope you can appreciate that I need to protect my interests, I am not in the habit of sending money to anyone without having some way of verifying they are who they say they are.  Thanks in advance for understanding.3) Who will you be using to ship the birds and how will they be shipped?  I believe that you indicated that their cage and toys would be included? I would like to see the cage they are currently being housed in.4) What guarantees will I have that the birds will arrive safely and most importantly alive?  Is their a return or refund policy if I am dissatisfied with the birds or if they arrive sick or in need of medical attention?5)  I would like to see pictures of the pairs of birds you currently have available and be able to choose a pair that I like.6)  Finally, I have friends and family in Florida that can pick the birds up for me if needed.  If that saves me on shipping costs what would the cost of the birds be minus those costs?I look forward to hearing from you with responses to these questions at your convenience.Thanks!He has yet to respond to my email, although he did try calling twice and presumably could not hear me although I could hear him fine.I believe him to be a scam artist and someone to be avoided.  The number he is using is a landline, unpublished and based in Lebanon, VA.  Additionally, these other sites where he has ads indicate that he is in those states, I have already reported one of his adds as misleading and possibly fraudulent.  In addition to free parrots with a $500.00 shipping cost, he also has ads for puppies throughout TX and in Colorado as well.  He sounds like a Nigerian and so far I don't trust the guy at all.   BEWARE!!!

The caller informed me that he was a Drug Enforcement Officer and that I had been charged with some sort of drug related crime but if I paid a fine for some lesser charge it would go away and wanted my credit card number. When I go upset he said that he was sending officers to pick me up and put me in jail.  I told him that I had done NOTHING wrong and would not pay any fine and he continued to threaten me with jail.  I ***g up on him.

I, like David Watkins, received frightening phone calls from someone saying he was comanding officer of the DEA and wanted me to pay a fine, which c****ed three times, so he could dismiss some unsubstantiated drug related charge. Is this a new twist to the numerous hoaxes out there?

I received the same phone call yes****ay. Accusing me of ordering medical drugs without prescription. Telling me that I would get mail and then have to go to court on Wednesday.

He also claims to be selling a horse trailer in NY.  Supposedly located in Florida.  Definitely smell of a scam artist.  I will be flagging his ads.
