[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 2057865, member: 8907"] I have a WTB ad on this site for Zeiss Victory HT 10x54's binoculars and got a PM/Conversation from a member registered in Nov of this year with 22 random posts about hunting. He said he thought his friend had the bins I was looking for and was thinning his collection. As this member was listed as NYC, NY and his friend was in Montana, I obviously was a bit curious and wanted to discuss a possible sale on the phone before moving forward as the pictures could have come from anywhere. Long story short, "a message was sent to a landline" but, my phone shows no activity and I obviously would not get a text message. We corresponded via email and text to my cellphone. Sure enough, a Google of the text number revealed an Indian reservation in Polson, MT with a demographic and average income level consistent with my Indian reservation experiences in Oklahoma and Arizona. [B]The conversation with the member from this site appears to have been deleted so, I'm wondering if he was banned.[/B] Twice when I called the text message phone number I got a 'voicemail to text' service. After some more email, now I get the phone to connect but no audio. At this point, I'm inclined to think this is a scam in the making, though it could be a bit premature to rule other possibilities out. [B]I'm still curious where the LRH conversation went though.[/B] Best Regards, Sid [/QUOTE]
