Below is a email coversation I have been having with some one calling herself "Carol". End result is I was never going to do the job, as and it tossed up red flags from the beginning. I was first contacted by her as a "deaf" person on the phone. I was just seeing how far it would go.

On a quantity of 30pcs I can extend you a 30% discount (for a savings of $901.80) on all the materials. Your total would be $3240.55. Any of the payment types I mentioned earlier are acceptable for payment. I do require a 50% deposit prior to starting any job. I can have the job completed 7 days after the deposit is made. When finished I can send you an email to alert you that it is ready to be picked up.

Hello Alan
Thank you once again for your good customer service.I am deaf and due to my hearing predicament,i can not go to Moneygram.Moreover,am in the hospital taking care of my hubby now.Email me with the total cost plus shipping so i can provide you with my credit card to charge and send the money at the nearest money gram location to the shipping co.When the money is cleared,they will contact you and pick up the materials when ready.If there will be any additional charge for doing that,please do not hesitate and let me know.Hope to hear from you soon so i can provide you with the necessary information.
Best Regards,
Carol.

I understand your situation and I feel for you, but you are the one asking of my services. Since you mentiond MoneyGram and you have access to the internet, please to to MoneyGram.com fill out the money transfer order from your credit card to me and have them call me when the funds are available. At that time, and that time only will I procede with the order. If that is not accepable to you then I'm sorry, there is nothing more to discuss.

Thanks
