    Sounds like a bait and switch scam.

    If any of you have received a PM from Source147 redirecting you to a 3rd party site or email, let me know and be cautious.

    This fraudulent scam stuff seems to be getting worse not just on our boards, but also on other selling sites around the Internet.
