Something is not adding up here.  Look at this person's post history, a lot of the posts don't make sense in context.  Also what is interesting is the linked signature leads to a site that sells something. 

One post says they are a teacher in London.  Another takes the position of a student in NY.  Another post is an exact copy of a post I made.

Yes, also one of his posts says that he is a new student, while on others he is trying to give experienced pianists advice that most people on here would already know.

It doesn't add up to me either...

Just checked the website on his profile.  It links to a myspace which says the person is in Florida.  So we have London, NY, & Florida.

Now on that myspace is an entry which looks very similar to a post I saw here within the past few days, but can't find it now.  The one with baby and new piano.  It seemed out of place here, as usernames mentioned were more connected with PianoWorld.

Attempted fraud in my opinion.

The latest post on the anything board mentions a member who was active here for all of 3 days and that was 4 years ago.

Asks us not to send our cheques just yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pathetic scam. I have seen better attempts from Nigerian oil workers.

Of course, i might be completely wrong, but something does not add up.

I'm just wondering where this Peggy ever was and what's happened to her now.  I fear something terrible. 

I think I'll send another million to be safe.

I see the mods have done some post deleting.  Also the removal of the linked signature.

But what about Peggy now?  I fear she shall perish.

Oh wait.  She already did.  Dang.  I fear her children shall perish.

Can I get my donation back then?  I was... $101,000,000.00 I think.  I'd kind of like that back now.  I'd like to donate it to dalmations now instead.

I shall miss her.  Ever so much.  Kind of makes me wish I actually knew her.  Not really.



(Bob happily shovels some more of it around.)  At least William is providing some entertainment for the day.

I don't see anyone pledging a million dollars over there.   (Bob adds another dime.)  There.

Seeing as William did copy a post from PS and repost it as his own, I am thinking did similar and reposted that PW post here.
