Same thing, sent message about a car for sale very poorly written with email ransjuju (AT) Gmail. Come.... Not half suspicious

Caller: Dont know, help me???

I dont know. Called multiple times, doesnt speak. Leaves voicemail thats blank. Doesnt answer on return call just goes to a automated woma voice that says “your call will be forwaded please leave a message beep” and then it beeps to revord a message and hangs up. Calls back if you call but i called on no caller id anyway, reveived texts from the number copy and pasting the “hi you have a missed call from 0488 879 176 did not lesve a message call back blahblah” that they send via text message repeatedly its not the missed call notification every time they literally copy and paste that and send it as a text message after the missed call text comes through and they do itmultiple times. I have spammers blocked, i pay for apps to block spammers and no caller id and i have silence unknown callers yet this number is so persistent! But it seems to be nobody?

Selling a Land Rover on Carsales (just like someone below)
Said would pay by paypal
Pay the asking price as was interstate
Will get a shipping agent to pick it up
Emailed via ransjuju @ gmail.com
Asked her "who will pay shipping"

Me of course was her answer - why do you ask
Told her nothing personal but had read about the fake paypal/shipping scam

Guess what - all gone quite

Toms Number ?? (Texted did not call) is 0488 879 031

Same here, using 0488 879 031

Same MO here too. Fortunately we thought it sounded suss from the get go, so did not proceed. I suspect they know we are on to them too as they have ceased communication.

Same thing here. Message from Tom asking to email Judith, who is willing to pay the full price. Do not email this person it is a scam! I am going to attempt to post to the Carsales website as well.

Just got the:
Interested in Land Rover on Carsales,pls message my partner Judith at the email :

ransjuju(At)gmail. com

for further contact.Thanks Tom

So dodgy and definitely a "shipping" scam. Why would you even need to contact a gmail account when they have your mobile. scumbags!

Tom sent me a text asking to email Judith . I did . I looked up PayPal’s rules and they didn’t cover the sale of cars so a proposed pay protect which she went along with until the next day when she asked to send me “more money” for shipping fees as she was unable to access a western union to pay. It all seemed suss then I found this .

Before i make the payment,there is something i need you to be aware of,I received an update from the shipping company that will be in charge of the pick up.They are saying I need to pay them their fees which is $1800 before they proceed with the collection and the only form of payment that they accept is Western Union Money Transfer.Where i am overseas,the nearest WU office is 8 hours away.I don't know if it will be okay,if I include this agent's fees in the payment I will be sending you now,so on receipt of the total funds,you will remove the additional funds of $1800 and help me send it at your local WU office,which
can be found below

received text message, same MO.
but different number 0488 879 031

Same MO. Didn't get to the part where they asked for the shipping charges to be sent Western Union in advance, they knew I was on to them and went quietly. Parasites!!

Message from 'Tom' regarding car for sale on carsales - requesting I contact 'Judith'. Badly written and suspicious looking. Looks like I was right to look this up, very similar story to the other complaints.

I just got the same message and am about to play along with "Judith".

Just received a text message from "Tom" regarding a car I have for sale. Asked me to email Judith. I have since emailed Judith and same thing as written here, wanting to pay asking price & pay via paypal. Sounded too good to be true. Scam alert!!!

Same thing. I have two cars posted for sale, in quite different price ranges. Odd that out of all cars they randomly selected my two cars. 'Judith' using email ransjuju @ gmail.com replied with poorly worded English responses. Will pay using 'paypal' only. Would have car 'picked up from your location' as they are 'away at the moment'.

Received text from this number after posting an item for sale on the trading post. This individual wanted a western union money transfer and claimed the pick up agent headquarters was in China. Scam

Received txt message about a car I have for sale, within a short time after I posted the ad on Trading Post.
Badly written, and wanting "best price" to be sent to a link in the txt. Scumbags!
