I would add mini vans that smell, have been kid trashed, faded paint, dented up and look like a POS.

I got hit with it too, but with the name BruceLeck

Interesting he swooped in pretending to be the seller of headers that I was interested in when I replied I PMd the seller

Unfortunately I was too excited to not know the difference at first and sent my address but oh well, he’s not getting Zelle money

Thats what I get for not reading 😂
