Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you.

Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
