I got an email from this guy about some wheels I have for sale. What's the story?? It's the exact "David Wilson" one posted here. The way it was written put up red flags right away for me. I emailed back just for the heck of it.

Got two from David Wilson on the 23rd as well. I was about to reply to the first when I saw the second and knew it was fishy, so I searched for his name and this thread popped up. Thanks!!
