    Sorry to say but my mother was fooled in a similar scam... almost verbatim. She was scammed out of $2,100 just last week.

    Anytime someone you don’t know starts off an email with Dear Mam or Sir then it’s a scam. Or, if they write you a fucking massive novel.

    Cut and paste the picture ... Place it in the Google search bar... Or drag it .... If it's ever been posted online it will show up. Click on the "visit site" at the bottom of the "Google" search result NR you'll know where the picture came from...

    You're welcome...

    I sure would like to show up at the Nigerian Internet cafe and ... You know...

    Back in the good ole days, I was so proud to score an Alpine radio at a flea market for dirt cheap but didn't realize that after installation, it was an "Alphine". I rocked that distorted sounding radio for about 6 months until it broke down. Maybe it was from over cranking the volume to Vanilla Ice that killed it:notsure:

    I should sell my 2013 2wd, and buy 10 or 12 of these $2k 4wd's!

    I don't like any of the colors. And 2 grand is a little over budget.
