Where is this phone number?
 

Some guy has emailed me several times about a car I have for sale, but I can't reply to him because his email bounces (prodigy.net.mx domain)

In the last email, he sent me his phone #: 01152155210620XX - I can't figure out where this number leads.

OTOH, it may be a scam - his emails aren't exactly the most lucid.

.mx domain is Mexican.... if you really think it is worth it, get a $5 phone card and call him from a payphone or something

011 is international, 52 is the code for Mexico. The 1 after means your dialing a cell phone in area code 55 which is Mexico City.

I say scam

+1 for id10t's suggestion. Even if it is a scam, maybe it's worth the laugh.

here's one I got:

ear sir,
I am an international business man, specialised in dealing,purchasing and selling of AUTOS.I also help my foreign client to ship their autos to any place of their desired country or destination, most especially EUROPE, cause i have a shipper who takes care of the shipment, so shipping will not pose any problem.

Presently i have a client who has asked me to help him purchase the item subjected above which will be shipped to EUROPE . As i was browsing through the internet, i saw your advert and i will like to purchase it for my client, but before payment will be made i need to be sure of who i will be dealing with if you are going to be honest and sincere throughout the
transaction.

So to start with, signify your interest by forwarding to me your last (PRICE) as well as your method(s) of payment through mail,after which we can continue with the transaction and i promise if all conditions and agreement are accepted and reached on time, payment will be made out almost immediately.

Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.

Respectfully,

SCOTT-ANDERSON.

Call him using Skype. It will cost you .02c a minute and is crystal clear...

Easy enough to find out. If you want contact me and I can give him a call. I speak Spanish and know Mexico City well.

Well whaddaya know. I called, and it was a real person, and he was actually conversant in 911's. What are the odds?

Skype sucks. A friend of mine is in Iraq and he calls me. The delay is frustrating as hell. The sound drops out because he said everyone is downloading porn. :lol:

Steve, I use Skype all the time, if your computer is busy or your internet is taxed that's true, but normally it's clear as a bell.. I love it.

Skype from Seattle to Queensland, Au - better than a phone line....And, for free

I use it all the time...works fine.

Every flight crew I know uses it around the world. Yes, some connections are not that good but you know, its free. Log off and log back on again and usually its clear as a bell.

Wonder how the internet connects are in Iraq? Oh, guess that could never be the problem...

It's coming............from inside the house!!!!!!!
