This is the message I received yesterday: “Dario!! Did ya hear tha news? Secret party happening after the bar! Let's go together! Rachel btw!” At first I thought nothing of it, thought it was a prank maybe and decided to play along and ask what time. Big mistake. I had no idea you weren’t supposed to respond because this kind of text was actually being mass sent out to TRACK people for Human Trafficking. As a young girl in LA, that is genuinely terrifying. I never received a response but think there may be a possibility someone is using my number to track me or to use my number for phishing purposes now. I ended up blocking the number but if they really did hack me, I’m not sure how much that does. I would warn against responding to these messages. Going to be keeping my eyes wide open for a while now.

Received voice mall from "Rachel" about $250000 pre-approved business loan. The call back number was 1-800-614-0397. I called that number and it was recorded message. Asked if I was still there and I said yes. This may be scam trying to get people to answer yes on the phone and use that for illegal activities.

I have been receiving voice messages about once a week for the past few months from "Rachel" (she does not give a business name) asking me to call her back to "go over the rates and terms on the $250,000 business line of credit that has been preapproved for me". The only thing is that I have not applied for any business lines of credit. I find it very suspicious and am afraid to even call back because I do not want them to get any additional information from me.

Type of a scamFake Check/Money Order
Posted a kijiji Ad and “Rachel” replied.
Said she would send a certified cheque and then when I did not reply, started to threaten to inform authorities.
I did not reply as I knew this was a scam to try to get me to send money even though I did not receive any.
There was no cheque.
Kijiji was contacted and blocked the person.

The phone rings once and it goes straight to voicemail. She says "Hey, its Rachel", like she's spoken with you before and talks about extending your business line of credit. she asks you to call back the number on the caller ID, and its called from multiple numbers before. I don't know the number i had in the past was associated with a contractor, or if its phishing hoping I'll call to ask to take me off a list. I'm not calling back because it seems like the "One Ring Scam".
