I was close. This part of the conversation threw up the flag for me. Hate to hear you got scammed. Had changed my mind and was going to just drive there to pick up what I needed but looks like I’m going to save 7 hours of driving.

As sad as it is, I think of Eddie Murphy in Trading Places this time of year.

One general rule of thumb I go by is that if it is a Gmail address, chances are it is a scam. I see it ALL over Craigslist and Facebook. Gmail address's are SOOOO easy to start. Before you all jump in my ****, I'm not saying all are scams. Just in my experience.
