easiest people to deal with.
For me, his writing style is far too much like my
old
landlord in West Virginia for me to trust him (not that I
think he's the same guy, but it throws up immediate
(possibly spurious) red flags because that guy was a liar
and a scammer as well).
I asked about about an item. He said he only accepts PayPal to
his fiancee's account at paskojes at msu.edu. I asked for his address and
phone number; he ignored me. He even refused my offer to send cash.
That does sound a bit fishy - if I'm selling something, I can't see a good
reason for withholding contact information.
