People will try anything to scam individuals out of their money. I feel sorry for people who fall for it.

Shucks, I'm always willing to help another inspector. You don't need to "go out and get an equity line"--I'll be glad to let you use mine.

Just send $500.00 in small, unmarked bills to me at...

I find that cash is the best thing to send to people that I have never met.

Bruce, if you give us his e-mail address we can at least fill his inbox with some e-mail and maybe a few choice words of encouragement.
