Appears to be based in Mesa, Az. Ph #480-XXX-9446 and uses the PayPal account of [email protected]. They'll send you pics of what you're looking for and offer to send you a shipping/tracking number as proof of delivery in exchange for paying by Paypal Friends and Family, in order to avoid fees and the 21 day delay in payment. BUT, the ticket won't have an expected delivery date. Upon checking, tracking will tell you a # has been issued but the item has not yet been received for shipping. They target large items with costly shipping, trying to get the buyer to contribute a portion of the costs up front.

Be caustious guys.

Never use Friends and Family ESPECIALLY if you do not know the seller. Payment by invoice or Frends and Family does not have a 21 day delay and of course fees are paid by the seller not the buyer and should be built into the selling price.
Thanks for the warning and reminder.

Apparently the Friends and Family request is common among scammers.
