Nothing Scares A Scammer More Than A Claim of Proximity

...and I've never even been to Putnam.

Dear Chris,

First things first. 350 pieces of Model #1941 - "Tojo Latch" @ $26 each makes your total cost $9,100.00. These are in stock and ready to go.

And now the second thing: HELLO NEIGHBOR! We're in Putnam, Connecticut! We're right up the road from you! How's that for a coincidence! About 20 minutes away!

Well sure we can ship them to you, but it'd be just a heck of a lot easier just driving down there and dropping them off!

I love meeting my customers but it doesn't happen very often. A lot of the time I'd be shipping material off to Europe or West Africa and never get to meet people. (Actually that's not entirely true. Once I had lunch at a local diner with a customer from Ghana - that's in West Africa. What a disgusting person. You'd think he never used a fork or a spoon before. Kept eating with his hands. Even chili. What a mess. I had to tip the waitress really big to straighten that out. And you know what else. I think he shit in his pants while we were there. The smell was horrendous and the seat... well, just imagine.)

So anyway, let me know how you'd like to pay for this order and how you'd like to handle "shipping".

Thanks.
