When I told him yes, in fact, it was still available and he could come see it, I got the old story he was unavailable to see it but would send me a cashier's check and have his "mover" pick it up. I never responded to him, blocked his email address, and wrote to TOTV, reporting the incident and asking how this person is on TOTV, etc. I'm gonna say, my biggest disappointment is the fact that I got nothing back from TOTV. So, just be aware people, this scam is still going on. It must be working somewhere, because they keep trying it. Have a great day!

I just checked, you do not need to be a member of ToTV to see the classifieds, these are open to anyone that goes to the site. They do NOT need to login, the same is true for Craigslist, so anyone selling something on ToTV can and will be subject to the same abuses that occur on CL. We all need to be very careful, selling items.
Hope this helps.
