- Well, I corresponded with him about a disk drive... He wanted a money order or
- cshiers check up front. I have yet to buy anything from the net, but I READ THE
- FAQ. and I found out that **sending the money up front is bad practice**. I
- figured he might be desperate, but I could wait and see if the disk drives
- would come down in price. I stopped corresponding with him....
- And now you guys tell me he was a con man!!. Am I lucky or what?!
- Adios.
