well, normally i would just delete this person..
why you might ask..?
because the IP he is using is from sweden AND in stopforumspam.com many times.. yet he put panama city, florida as his location..

also, there is nothing really free.. there is always some catch..

so i'll leave this up for a day or two.. just on the slight chance this fellow is legitimate..

i advise everyone to be very very careful..

Thanks for the warning, Bill. Does look suspicious doesn't it?
I'm curious to see where, if anywhere, he goes with this. Or, just what it is he's phishing for.
