Hey everyone, I have not posted anything in a while but I do come into the site every week.  Anyways, I received this strange message from a Maria T Bella just yesterday:

Hello,

I'm working on a tv commercial in nyc and looking to rent a very large classic old school

boom box like the one below. I got your information from the stereo2go website. I would need to rent the week of 8/28 for 1 day. It doesn't need to work just used as a prop. If you are interested please contact me at t8bella@gmail.com.

thanks!

Anyone else get this through their email?  First off, like I said, I don’t regularly post on this site and how did this person get my email address?  It states they got my info from stereo2go, what’s going on?  Anyone out there know about this?  Is this a scam or something?

hi ya mate - two things here

It could be true and it just a strange way of asking and that is just the way she does business ?

or they have come on here and looked to see who has what and want to rob you as you are the closest to them ? - you come and turn up and get mugged ?

if you don't want to do it or find out what it's all about then just walk away

they may just have asked you as you are near then and no one else is close - strange they haven't come on to the site and introduced themselves ?

i say what out

cheers B

Hey Chiplayer,

These requests come in every so often.  Is your email account listed in your public profile?

While I have not dealt with Maria, I have rented some of my stuff to people for this sort of thing in the past.  They paid me a very nice price up front w/ insurance against damage and even paid for overnight shipping w/ packing.  Just talk to the people in person and make sure it's legit.  If you can bring the radio in person, that's all the better.
