- This might help others, whenever I make a purchase through someone in
- this Group I always make sure that I get there real street address,
- (no p.o. boxes), and also there telephone number. Then I call them
- atleast twice to confirm the deal. Just some friendly advise, if the
- person is not honest enough to give you his telephone number than I
- would be a little leary of sending him cash, check, ect.
