Close encounter or am I paranoid?
About 2 weeks ago, whilst trolling CL, I saw and responded to an ad asking for help meeting end of month expenses. Couldn't connect, so I filed it. Last week, I had play time so I reached out and asked if I could contribute to the fund and was told yes. We set up a time and I got an address. I always google to see what's around the perimeter and to look for landmarks. This was an address to a row of town houses in Henrico. Unfortunately, traffic was bad and I had to cancel. Fast forward to this week, and it send out another message trying to connect. I get a yes, come over. I'm expecting to go to the same place but I get a different address also in Henrico. I had an old picture from the first time we talked so I ask for another one and I get one of a totally different person. I thought WTF. Diff address, diff person, could be a rob or it could one of my closest relatives trying to meet me. Shortly after, and in quick succession, I received several body and face pics of the original person with enough ink on them that would make it impossible to fake who this person is. They all matched the original person and the wrong photo was explained away as "I knew you were being an ass asking for pics so I was messing with you". The different address was explained as being safe to move around. The second address was in a different town house complex about 4 miles away from the original one.
Needless to say, I didn't partake. This person was very indignant when I backed off and I have all the pics. Not sure if it's proper protocol to put them up here or not so I will wait for advice from you guys or I can pm them to you to see if you have ever met this cute bird.
P.S. My head was swiveling like the radar at Richmond International!
