I have a “shopping cart” so if he really wanted the books, he could have gone on there and used a credit card and paid for them. I hear what happens is they ask for your bank account so they can put the money in. Right! I’m going to give him my bank account information. Maybe next century.
Have you had anyone send you an email like this?
