833-205-0043, anybody receive a call from this number? The voicemail says it’s from a process server named “mr white” and claims he has been to my house twice to serve me and if he can’t reach me this last time he will “turn it over to the warrants division”? Sounds so legit but I haven’t done anything wrong
I received the same voice-mail. It sounds so real it has me questioning what I could've done wrong.. I tried to call it back and got a recorded message.
Just received a text in Canada asking me if a listing was still for sale. I have nothing for sale so was easy to figure out it was a scam. Dan
No call received from a 833 area codeI did get a text from an area code 833-212-7581They were asking about a house listed on my Facebook and sent me a link to the property.However, I couldn’t open it, as I am not a very active F/B person, so I asked for the street address and have not received a reply.I am a realtor, so I get text and emails frequently. When I did not get a response with a address I became suspicious.
