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.

Hi Ruth -
Any other identifying information? Pat Sewyer from: location?, company name? saw his/her ad on?
Might help spark someone's help... good luck!

Well first question would be... who is "Pat Sewyer" since the ad lists "Cheryl Goldberg" as the seller?

That should instantly give you some serious pause i.e. red flag.
Members are only allowed:
1. To sell using their full legal name
2. Not sell for other individuals (especially those who are not members or who have been banned).
Do you have any correspondence you can post regarding a "Pat" using this account? Thanks Ruth.

I am backing away from this transaction unless someone here on this board actually has dealt with these people. Thanks again! Ruth

That gibberish alone would probably raise some red flags with me. If someone can't express themselves with some degree of clarity, I tend to take it more seriously than most would.
Did you use the site's built-in email function to send an email to the seller, to which you received the quoted reply; or was that message received unsolicited? It kinda looks like what Dan Costello used to do: lurk ads waiting for someone to express interest so he could swoop in and pretend to be the person who posted the ad.

Yep, this would be good to know... is there an email address from "Pat" OR at what point was the name "Pat" first mentioned?
