I own a pest control company, Carl Ross leaves me a mssg and asks me to email his brother ed@edross.info for a dozen pest control jobs...

Needless to say, sounded fishy...googled and found this scammer forum...

I got this call from Carl Ross wanting us to do fumigation services for a bunch of homes for his brother Ed Ross. He asked us to email his brother at ed @ edross.info   We started to follow up on the lead but my computer crashed in the middle of my email post. Then once re booted I googled this fella and checked out this mysterious looking website. I'm curious if this phone thing will continue...

Got voicemail from this number.  Man says he is Carl Ross out of town visiting relatives, but needs to schedule several fumigations of single family dwellings over a period of time.  Says to email his brother Ed at <ed@edross.info>.  Don't people have anything productive to do?

Got the Carl Ross convoluted fumigation call/emails also. Thought it was a sting as they propose to pay two thirds upfront. What is the darn point of  this whole thing?

BTW, looked up the Jordan-Franks.com and it was created in Dec of 2011. Scam for sure but to what end?
How's it work, I'm dying to know :)

This fellow has a lot of brothers.  I have a pest control business and he want me to contact Ed Ross at Ed@EdRoss.Info.  I said this is BS and deleted the message.

I run a small pest control company, got this call email brother...and I also got that "fishy" feel so I googled and wala! I appreciat all who post these to help other from falling victom...

GUY CALLED BUSINESS AND CELL PHONE # ABOUT FUMIGATING SEVERAL PROPERTIES, ALSO BELIEVE IT'S A SCAM, NO PHONE NUMBERS LEFT TO CONTACT THIS POTENTIAL CLIENT, AND THEN I GO TO WEBSITE AND THIS IS WHAT I ENCOUNTER.......PLEASE TAKE ME OFF OF YOUR DUMMY CALLING LIST!

I reported this number and email to FCC. Sounds like some kind of scam.

Yes it is. I saw this in the journal of Accountancy July 2012 issue.

BIG SCAM This is a Dummy website created to SCAM small businesses. They will email you claiming to have a "project" that will give you fumigation work for the next five years. COMPLETE scam. Use Google maps and look at their mailing address...its a mail store in a strip mall. Also look up their "meeting rooms" address, its a cheap motel in California. They will pass you from one email address to the next including Ed Ross, Carl Ross, Jerry Beckerman, Bud Franks, Morgan Franks, Jordan... all fake. All emails are pre-prepared. They will not answer you directly, they always say " hold off on emailing me" this scam has been used in several states. For the first month it will appear that there is no scam. THEN they email you asking you to join a "third party payment assistance program"   they want your signature and payment of 65 dollars for a years worth of " the assistance program" DO NOT SIGN, DO NOT PAY, DO NOT GIVE YOUR ACCOUNT #.  This other website: cappadministrativeservices.com IS PART OF THE SCAM. This is a very elaborate scam, every email was perfect english, sounded as if a lawyer wrote them. They even had a "conference meeting call" that you call and listen to their meeting. Again this is all FAKE. There is no work, no "out of state workers" to buy houses that need fumigation, or painting or whatever the scam is ( they use several).  DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM. wasted my time for a month.... Reported them also.

Apparently they are tired of scamming painters and are going after roofing companies because we received the same email with the same wordage but said they were in need of roofers. The names were changed though as they used Carl Ross, Jim Ross, Pat Ross (this was suppose to be the wife) and then Morgan Franks and Henry Jordan. I'm guessing there are a lot of desperate individuals and companies that are sending in the "$68 registration fee".

Eventually they will tell there is a registration fee to do the work. The fee us usually small ($68) but with all of the people they contact that adds up.

Received a call from this company at 10 pm.  Caller identified themselves as Don Hopkins saying that they had several jobs for us to work.  Don said that the was going to be out of town for a week or two, but to email his partner at tim@alcar.info.  Decided to google the # and found this post.  Thank you for the information!

Received call at 10:01 pm. Same message as one above to CONTRACTOR, right down to the individuals involved. My phone identified the business as ONEPRICETAXES.COM..... What would a tax preparation outfit have to do with rewiring several houses? Gotta wonder.........

same thing, guy is going out of town, needs some single family homes rewired over a long period of time, email tim@alcar.info for more information. caller id says same, onepricetaxes. we are also an electrical contractor so, i am guessing that last week was pest control week and this week is electrical week. weird!

Same here, federal house rewire over time.  Leaving town, email tim@alcar.info.  Seems the phone number is part of a lot of different businesses according to my search.

I recieved same message and caller id read one price taxes .com which was odd it seems like a sting be careful becuase they sound realistic . The message i got at 7:45pm was that Don Hopkins was going out of town for a week and if interested in rewiring single dwell units to e mail partner tim@alcar.info when i pulled up it was one price taxes.com

Same here.  For electrical work.  Thanks for posting info.

we received the same message same day on 7/21...same thing..Im out of town contact my partner Tim at tim@alcar.info he's going to take care of all the multy-family projects....blablabla.....at the begining i thought it's one of our past customers having a new project.........toooooo bad..only a cheap scam

"Don Hopkins" called me with work too.  Thankful to everyone who posted about this number so I could confirm my suspicion that this was a scam before I ever returned a call or email.
