Herb - Possible fraud response to my ad#273314

I'm not going to respond to this. It is still under My Message inbox. The only one I ever got there. No rating etc. I tried to use one of your support links under privacy policy and on your Anacortes site, but got an error msg.
Hope this works.

Thanks

If any of you have seen the movie "The Flim-Flam Man" with George C. Scott this scheme sure smacks of something he might pull.

If you think you're "making out like a bandit" then someone probably is, and not you!

Reminds me of my dumb half brother who once told me that the used car saleman made a $2000 mistake when he sold him the car. SURE HE DID!
