re: Sounds like a scam to me? What does the OB think?

Yes. I am basically the only remaining website moderator left for LASM it seems. Used to have a full crew of more there but haven't seen any of them in a while. Guess ill have to send out a big email to them all to find out what's going on.
Anyway,as has been said. Never,and I mean never purchase anything,sent money to or even respond to anyone who has anything listed for sale and only puts in a gmail address.

A gmail address cannot be linked or followed to any land based address like an email used by a service provider like Cox.

Just stay away from these people as it is Damn near a full time job for me to keep them off the classifieds section. Just press the scam button and it will get rid of them after a while.
