Beware of scam

I haven't heard of those kind of scams in Canada; at least not in my area.  But speaking of scams, there was a guys going around here and some of the nearby towns a few years back claiming to be a carpet/air duct cleaner.  He'd call folks up telling them he had just cleaned their neighbor's carpets/ducts and hook them that way.  Then he'd go in with a shop vac and shove the hose down their vents while he rooted through their belongings.  One of the worst cases we heard of his, he nabbed some old lady's stamp collection and charged her upwards of $1500 for next to no work. . . and she paid.  I can't remember the guy's name or aliases off hand, but I'll post them if I can find the information.  This all happened in BC, Canada.

I have received a couple more similar email requests in the last couple weeks.  They're still at it.

If it seems like a scam then it probably is.

I've had the real Relay calls before.  Are you saying the AT&T Relay operator in this case was not the real thing?

Same thing happened to me the other day but with a twist. They had AT&T call me because they were supposedly deaf so AT&t offers a service where they type to the opperator and the opperator talks to you. Well, it was the same scenerio. I just emailed them back stating I was going to turn them into the feds and informed them that they needed to know how to spell and write correct sentences.

Update: It turns out she's from Birmingham, Alabama not Africa. Go figure eh?
