I have an ad in the paper for my miniatures and maltese pups for sale. We have gotten several relay calls - calls that interpret for the deaf - for my animals. I also have the pups for sale on next day pets and puppy find.
A Ms. Matt called and of course would not give out her number for me to call her back but did give an email address. I emailed her with the requested information about my pups and got the following:

Two of my friends who have just advertised their dogs in the paper and same puppy links have also received this call.
I want to report this, but not sure where to report it. My husband called relay to notify them. I taught deaf for many years and it really angers me that these scam artists are abusing relay - an important service for the deaf - to get around paying long distance calls and hiding their number to play this game.
I know this has been a problem on the sales board before, and I was wondering how others possibly handled it to catch these creeps.
Let me know.
