Mike,
I edited your post to remove the email address . . . it is not safe to post your email address . . . that is how some scammers collect emails. With our site, other members can always us the email link that is directly below each post you make.
My husband and I were hit by our scam in October 2002, and I do remember that it made holiday shopping tight that year. Because of that, we here at ScamVictimsUnited.com do a Secret Santa program each holiday season.
