Keep getting a message - "Just tried to reach you" - but no phone call, missed or otherwise - and asking if they can call me later. So I don't know who they are - but they are offering to "help people get gov-funded solar systems and earn an extra $50-$200/mo with no down payment" (their wording). As I already have solar anyway, I've blocked them.

Hi , just tried to reach you.

We help people qualify to get gov-funded solar systems & earn an extra $50-$200/mo with no down payment.

Can I call you back later? Many thanks, James.

I have never enquired about solar, so no idea where this came from. No call. Just the above text message.

Caller: ‘James’

Fake solar scam

Caller: James

Same random SMS saying “just tried to reach you.

We help people qualify to get gov-funded solar systems & earn an extra $50-$200/mo with no down payment.

Can I call you later? Many thanks, James.”

Don’t ever recall sharing my number to this person.

I had the same message and I do have solar panels

Caller: James

I received the SMS below from this number. No call was missed from them. It reads like a scam. Number has been blocked.

Hi Ben, just tried to reach you.

Caller: James

Scam ... Text to mobile: Tried to reach you (no you didn't), help you get solar ... Can I call you later? Obviously a scam to get you on the phone and do you out of your money. My number is on the Do Not Call Register - so these guys are not legit.

Caller: Scam

Scam with same sms as the others.

Caller: James

Sam as the others, 'James' knew my name and claimed to have tried reaching me regarding 'gov-funded solar systems' but i have no missed calls.

Caller: I don’t know - says Geoff

Scam obviously. Just got this text:

Hi Nicole, just tried to reach you.

We’re helping people with their lawns and wanted to see if you needed help getting them done? I can send you some information.

What's your best email? Many thanks, Geoff.

Caller: text message

My text message was about helping me get my lawns mowed?? Deleted and reported.

Caller: Geoff

I Got the Old
"Hi Alex, just tried to reach you.

We’re helping people with their lawns and wanted to see if you needed help getting them done? I can send you some information.
What's your best email? Many thanks, Geoff.

Caller: James

They know your name and try the old 'just tried to call you' angle. Want to talk to you about solar systems.

Trying to contact my father, but it is my phone number when I was a carer contact.
James will need a oujia board if he wishes to speak with my father.

This was the message

Probably a scam i did not inquire anything solar and i am not James

Caller: James

Inquiring about solar, lying about having tried to call

Same thing, also addressing me by name. Suspect a "pig butchering" scam...

I got the exact same message offering solar, and signed by 'James'. Never missed a call and no other correspondence. They also addressed me by name, I'm not sure if others had the same

Same here
