What People Report

B

Suspicious

The same thing happened to me yesterday. Very persistent multiple Facetime calls and texts. Wouldn't voice call. Texted that they were interested in my service (driving instructor) and wanted 3hrs and would pay $300 (it's advertised at $60 p/hr). When I couldn't see their face or hear a voice and consequently ended the Facetime connection they text it was 'their phone playing up / slow internet / Telstra 3G' - texted me 'just wait' 'let it connect'. texting questions 'what shoes are you wearing?', 'tilt the camera down'. Have had a Gumtree ad for a few months and have it 'bumped up'.

Got a call from this idiot on FaceTime at 1am while I was working. I called it back thinking it may have been a lady I knew, the phone answered and messed up a bit of giggling in the background and when I texted back asking who she was as I didn't have any of the Sarah's I knew numbers on my phone she texted back saying "call me see who". Creep I tell you. Don't waste your time- I blocked straight away.

So my name actually IS Sarah, and this number contacted my sister pretending to be me... My sister immediately know it wasn't me due to the fact tha I spell things correctly (don't use R U etc) and complimented her on her clothes (my sister and I hate each others styles and it is common for us to ridicule each others outfits). As an international traveller, this person made me very worried about identity theft but after seeing the posts in Google about this number I feel its just a horrible scam.

I got multiple messages saying it was Sarah, then multiple f/t calls wanting to see me but their screen was paused and black. I eventually gave in and had my screen on for a quick 5 seconds at the most, then I hung up and waited. I got a "Yummm" reply. Then nothing else again. Poor thing must be so lonely to desire calling randoms for his thrills. BLOCK, is the easy way to not have anything else to do with weirdos & time wasters.

Posted a Gumtree ad yesterday and at 3am lastnight, I get a missed call and message from this number saying "hey it's Sara hru x" I'm a little relieved for not being the only one targeted by this person but also hugely annoyed. Definitely some peeve stalking on people and of all places, Gumtree. Glad I took initiative and decided to search the number.

* Gumtree *.

Txt saying they are Sarah, then multiple facetimes which I accepted no face was shown as it was being covered, very persistent for me to answer.

I'm 21 female and have a add on Gumtree for pet sitting/house sitting.

Maybe a perve after females.

Same as above but got calls and FaceTime at 5am.

Thought this was strange as no idiot would call me at this time. Plus when I asked how I knew them they didn't message me the answer. Just wanted me to look at them on face time. F*k that.

Block this caller.

I just posted a Gumtree ad and 3 minutes later I get a text saying "hey its sarah hru?" and a phone call seconds later. I didn't answer and they they messaged me asking to facetime or whatsapp.

I replied saying I didn't have either of those and no response yet, but we shall see. This person seems to be targeting Gumtree users, however it is unclear what their motive is?

Now I know not to answer the phone. Does anyone know if it is a woman on the line?
