Hey guys,
Just found out recently that some scams are being run from E&B ads.
I messaged one of the ads and got no reply. Soon after I got all kinds of scam calls pretending to be Chinese Embassy, AusPost, ATO etc. They even ring me at 10pm!
So recently I checked a few ads out and searched their phone numbers on Google to see if they're one of those Bait & Switch ads running different names on different ads but funnily Google couldn't produce a search result even though the number was clearly listed on the E&B ad.
Some other ads which I've gotten replies from and have also visited previously all came up in the Google search with their E&B ad.
I'd suggest Googling up their phone numbers first before sending any texts. These scammers didn't just call me using made up phone numbers, they even texted me in Chinese "你忙吗?" (Are you busy?) to get me to reply and probably trap me into the love/investment scams. And they even searched my number on WeChat attempting to add me there lol
