I agree! We rarely place ads in a paper, but on the few occasions we have, every single time I have gotton at least one of these relay calls. I guess because there is no caller id??? Anyway, for whatever reason they use it, it is extremely aggravating.
The first tme I got one (silly me) I did go so far as to give them my email address. Upon receiving the return email and realizing it was a scam, I informed them that we would not be doing any "business" with them. Would you believe they still sent us a money order? Although it looked real, I took it to the post office....they checked, and it was fake. I gave them printouts of the email, etc. but I don't see how they can really track these people down.
