Text Scam - Elyudreagirl

Post by Casscat »

Just received this text with the sender heading InquiryINFO. Absolutely no clue as to which of my sites she or he has harvested my number from:

"I want to book the property one week in September? If you have availability email me at elyudreagirl@*****"

There is a phone number which I will cheerfully post if others are receiving the same spam.

I've just found this earlier thread where Elyudreagirl featured somewhat heavily so here we go. Her full email as given on this latest pathetic attempt is elyudreagirl@gmail.com but the phone number now seems to have disappeared. viewtopic.php?t=23143&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=45

Just received that precise text from Elyudreagirl for our property (in Portugal though it didn't specify location. Thought it was suspicious and glad I check it out. Thanks for all the assistance

Exact same text received here too. No number showing, it also came up in my texts showing the sender as InquiryINFO. There seems to be no number at all (just intrigued about how that works, no intention of replying!!). I've blocked the 'caller' on my phone, these time-wasters make me so weary……

I am also intrigued as well. My text is exactly the same with an email address to which to respond but no intention of doing so either.

I've got one the same too!

What is the point of these texts?, they are harvesting a lot of mobile numbers to what end?!
