Bad weather in June in NY blocking the satellites, and don't forget the superb spelling and grammar. I am glad sites like this are around to confirm suspicions. Couriers and PayPal, watch out for this DB.
Same as other postings, contacted regarding vehicle sale and wanting PayPal info. I did however ask for their information and received back the name of Ken Grandy - [email protected].
Received message 3:30 am.... Researched the # to find out where they was calling from..
They were responding to an ad I had placed to sell my dads Harley..
I am thankful I found this got for the number that contacted me.. I now know
This could be a scam....
