I'm wondering if anyone else besides me has been getting emails from strangers claiming to have a type of bottle that you collect and are asking for certain types of bottles that you just "happen" to have?
I'm skeptical because I got an email last week from someone claiming to own a bar in Scotland and looking for a particular whiskey bottle to display and wanting to deal with me. Then "today" I get an email from a guy in Canada, very similar, asking for for two different beers, one which I happen to have, and claiming to have Jamaica Ginger flasks to trade. Both email had the same "feel" to them, like something fishy going on, and I'm guessing someone is gathering information from our forum here and is working on some kind of scam. Am I paranoid? I really think someone is trying to scam me. The one last week I simply wrote back and said, sorry, I can't help you. Today I answered and asked for pictures of what he has and asked him to tell me a little bit about himself, including how he got my name and email address and how he knew I was interested in Jamaica Ginger bottles. I'm sure he got the information from "here".
