Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

There are 2 strong hints that should suggest steering clear.
1) use of an image stolen from the internet
2) not having a full name (in violation of a policy made for your protection)
Beyond that, any obvious discrepancies should simply make the decision easier.

Also users in the classifieds are suppose to include their city and state in the ads.
If they are using Missouri in their profile here and telling you they are in Maryland they are also violating the rules here in addition to not having their full name in their profile.
I think you answered your own questions here.
The profile location is wrong. The image the user is using is taken from someone else. Other pictures shown are located in a tropical environment.
It's a brand new account with no references. I can't find the user name and email account online associated with anything but the one ad here.
The IP address the user is using doesn't suggest Maryland or Missouri.
If I had to guess they didn't know how to abbreviate the state or remembered incorrectly which state they put in the profile when the person emailed you. When you are being dishonest sometimes you forget.
Buyer Beware.
