Also, email addresses are not available on eBay, unless you actually complete a sale with the person. I have never bid on a Tasc system on eBay to date. I have expressed interest, I think, here and on Ismenio's forum about a Tasc. I would think that the scammer would have to be monitoring one of the forums. But if that were true, then he would know that we are on to this scam because it is always posted here. I wouldn't think he would try this direct approach with one of us, in that case. >> >>I don't really know what my next step should be.

Don't know what that is, though. Dick Schneiders
