Thank you for using Manitoba's classified ad marketplace, ManitobaX.ca!
When I replied asking which item they were referring to, I received a second email almost verbatim.....I them told the sender that if they couldn't give me the item name it was obvious that they were trying to scam me into cashing their cashiers cheque and if they couldn't or wouldn't like to give me the item name or description I would be reporting them to the authorities....that was on Sat. and I haven't had another reply.
Anyone else have this problem with ads that get posted on ebrandon and are listed on ManitobaX as well?
