These days I think I'd be joining your club. Hope you have room for more members.Nope not a joke I'm just a moron apparently.
Got it, thanks!
For a few out there who may be wondering, since I've seen this on a forum I admin as well as facebook pages I'm a member of -
What's happening out there, and we see it a lot on ebay and facebook pages related to cars, trucks, whatever - someone takes a picture that's posted elsewhere - say I've posted a picture of something I have. The bad guy grabs that picture and puts up a sale ad saying that they have this widget for sale and here's a picture of it. Cool, you like it, you send them the money - and they never even had such a thing.
A car I sold a while back was pretty well known nationally. Very easily recognized. Apparently a bad actor didn't know they grabbed a photo of a car thousands knew about. One of my car pictures was used in a scam sale ad for a Javelin on ebay. People recognized the car and contacted ebay and the auction was taken down.
The reason for a hand written note is to prove it's you, and it's your item.
Too bad a few crooks mess it up for the rest of the good people out there.
