  • I got the same thing from the same address. He apparently delivered something to my house today. I don't know a single person on the planet who would ship out payment before the work was completed. If anything, I'll take it to a check cashing service and see what happens.

  • I was responding to a Western Illinois-placed ad. I had the same "conversation" and on only the second response I knew this guy was a scammer. I'm not sure what his scam could possibly be, but I don't care either! Here is the chain of my emails:
    Me - Hello David,
    I'm very interested in your offering here and I'm curious about two items. First, is there ongoing work beyond the 7 machines you refer to? Second, where are you located in Western Illinois?
    Thanks,
    Zane

    Me - Your inability to construct well-formed sentences is telling. I point blank asked you two questions in my email and you didn't address either.
    I will NOT do business with you so please, cease and desist.
