Oh dear, I'm sorry to tell you that you've been ripped off.
Gil Gershman does this kind of thing regularly. Just ask some of the
other people he has scammed (or tried to...)
mclance@nacs.net
PUCKERED1@aol.com
bcrayon@bentcrayon.com
Zedody@aol.com
Barabajang@aol.com
cdtoad@nacs.net
AltPress@aol.com
tkuveab@grove.iup.edu
chadfreeman@usa.net
...and many more (including myself)
I regularly warn people on this IDM-list not to get involved with
Gil, but there are always people who rush to his defence or tell me not to
clutter the list with such remarks. Ah well...
Maybe when he reads your post, he'll suddenly 'find' your cash at the
bottom of his mailbox. Good luck...
