Hello. Last fall, I placed an ad on this forum for a timeshare for sale. I had a few responses, but nothing for quite some time, until I got this email yesterday:

I'm really not sure how to handle this. Has anyone else had a problem such as this, or with this person? I understand, as is noted at the top of the email, that the group's owners are not responsible, but I'd just like a little guidance as to how - or IF - to respond. My inclination is to NOT respond.

Thanks for your help!

Bev

Hi Laurie; I accidently ran into your post and read through it because I recognized the people you were inquiring about. I know them both. I thought maybe you might be interested.
Sincerely,

No offense, but if you needed to ask whether to respond, you probably shouldn't be allowed online without your parents supervsion
