The map shows him as 5 minutes from my office.

No, I wont go check it out for anyone, at least not alone and unarmed :)

That's one of the creepiest CL ads I've ever seen.

 

At face value it looks like click bait, a whole bunch of Mac equipment for a thousand bucks?  But does $1000 cash really help you in a divorce proceeding and a bank foreclosure?

 

C'mon Davis go on your lunch break, take backup and go check it out.  Despite the creepy ad, all of us are curious as heck.  If it's legit I'd work with you to pick it up and pay you a nuisance fee for your trouble.  B)

 

But do you know why I want you to do it?  THERE IS NO WAY I'D SEND THAT GUY MY REAL NAME AND PHONE NUMBER!  :lol:

No, he's not nearly that "clever" or "humorous".....creepy, yes.

Agreed. Has anyone heard from him, lately? I thought that he might have changed his approach.  What was the same is "Due to onquires please send you full name and contact info."

I thought Chuck was in Kokomo?

Unless it is a diversion.

Chuck will advertise is several areas. I thing there is reports of him/her/it in Florida. 

 

 

This looks like Chuck's ad too.

Nope, he's in Indy.  I talked to someone in person a couple of years ago who actually knows him.  Said he's just as big a whack job as he is on line and on the phone.
