That's true, if you actually lived in the US. The guy in question showed his location as "Texas" and gave out a New Jersey phone number. Probable with that is he lives in Nigeria. That's not even close to either Texas or New jersey. Classic Scammer!!!
I know this is abit of an old thread that I found googling the email address from the earlier questionable post (other forum concerns as well) but you guys were spot on with 'concern' over the fake identity. This is the IP address (below) of the person of interest. Its not Texas or New Jersey...
