not legit, broken English and he doesn't describe or refer to the items once. Which often means he can send the same message to many ads w/out changing it

I just fell for one of these. I am selling some stuff on our classifieds and same message to my timing gun. Sent me four $850 US postal money orders and wanted me to western union the change. Bank actually cashed one, then the next day I went to the post office and they said they were fakes. Really pissed the bank off when they found out
