Possible scam.... need advice

Wow,

First of all, on behalf of all of us, three cheers for Justabrake for making the trip there. He is a stand-up guy.

18-39 69th street didn't exist? How about 18 69th street box 39 or apt 39?

Assuming it's a false address, I wonder how they were going to pull off this scam? Most of the time these people are in Romania or places like that. It kind of surprised me there was a domestic USA adress in the fist place. Usually their communications reveal their foreign style of english.

OK - this being what it is, I guess they were just after identity information. Now that Ross has changed his passwords, etc., their plot is foiled.

Curious. I think that was a close call for Ross.

I echo Chris' statement about justabrake 110%!!

It was one of those "too good to be true" deals which had me skeptical from the beginning.

Actually, if its a scam, take the information you currently have to the United States Post Office, Office of the Postal Inspector General. They handle all cases of postal fraud/fraud and related activity in connection with computers. Jail time ranges from 18 months to 5 years, depending on how much money is involved in the case.

That's exactly what I was shooting for.

the numbers ran like this 40-XX then it skips to 38-XX so there isn't any 39- if that was his real name he wouldn't have belonged there (IMO) it's more a mexican - korean area
