I work for a Classified ad department for a major newspaper. We've been trying to help catch scam ads for awhile, and I hoped to help out by posting here when phone numbers cam in for illegitimate ads. This phone number came in for both a Dog ad, and an Employment ad. Please be careful, scams are very hard to catch, and even harder to keep out of the paper.

I to work at a major newspaper and am taking a call now. What do I need to do to catch this one?

Thanks for this. Just got a call. Shut em down. We have a department that reports them to the government.
