I recently advertised a sewing machine "For Sale" in the local newspaper. It cost $4.00 for the one local paper, or $8.00 for two local papers plus the web.
Because the local paper only covers one county, I decided to go for both papers and the web, since anyone in a 50 mile radius might be interested in the sewing machine, but wouldn't get the local papers.
I received "2" scam responses using the TELEPHONE RELAY SERVICE.
I was shocked that a legitimate service provided for people with special needs could be used as a scam medium. I tried following up but got nowhere. The phone company said there was nothing they could do to trace it.
