" 909" area code fraud scams / fake calls and texts

The title of this thread says it all.  Did you bother to read anyone else's comments?  After all, there are four pages of messages  on the subject.

909-340-2043
Said they were "responding to an online form I'd filled out and could hook me up with a healthcare plan in about 5 minutes." Of course, I hadn't.

Another one for you, came in on my wife's phone just now.  Two txt msgs one right after the other.  First one said:

"Calling you."

The other one:

"Please call me!"

Both from:

909-921-1412  Upland, CA Landline

I got calls from (805) 219-6116
Northern Los Angeles Area and then (909) 340-2043
Pomona Area.  I'm guessing that it's from a Craig's list posting.

(909) 843-4708
Add this one to the list

I have been getting robo calls from 909-340-2043 when I did a reverse search the result was that no listing
for the number existed. The message was that I had a wone a prize and to call back right away with
a claim number.

I did call back and asked the Russian sounding person to take me off the call list now I get even more automated calls.

All I can say is look out and has anyone gotten the same call from 909-340-2043.

THANK YOU: TOM

- all too  typical.....


poor  english  ,  poor   grammer........,   terrible  sentence  structure........  "  we  maintains"  ??   "  did  reviewed "     etc......   when  have  you  ever  heard  this.....


this  and  countless  other  tip  offs

I just forwarded this scammer to Feed The Children.  Hopefully they will be aware their name is being used by a scammer.

909-276-7523 I got it right when it sent the call to voicemail.... no message left so I returned the call immediately and got their voicemail that said "the google subscriber your trying to reach is not available, please leave a message.. this was done in front of my husband who is new to email accounts and the internet, but I am not and I cannot say I might not have had the same response given the circumstances. Glad I checked it out and found this site... appreciate the heads up!!

i just got that not 20mins ago like wtf

Don't use craigslist AT all! We had an [***] in Madison, WI that came back to BURGLE the house he had just been to that day for an item!

david says Pomona area call 909 480 6192 looking for sex partners? Is that what you're saying?

I got a response to an ad I have on craigslist. It's only a $60 piece of furniture. The responder said my wife and I are interested in your hutch, would you take $35.00 for it. I countered with $40 and he accepted. He ended is last email with "Regards" then his name. Which seems pretty benign, but in my experience with scammers they use the word "Regards" often when signing off. Then he puts his phone number with is a 909 number. He had told me he was from a town near mine, which has the same area code as mine, and it's not a 909. Also my phone number is in the ad so why doesn't he just call me instead of leaving his number for me to call him?

What I don't get is, what is their purpose? It's not like I have an expensive item listed, it's a $60 item and the cheap creep offered me $35.
So I emailed him back with my phone number, which is in the ad too, and surprise surprise he hasn't called me.
