Anyone in Columbus got time to check out this scam?

Beyond doubtful.

It doesn't pass the old duck test.....If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck,it must be a duck! Be careful out there.

I've been forwarded this ad from at least 10 guys in 10 different cities, it's a scam, but I bet he will gladly take your deposit.

I think we all should take a moment to send him a text asking him if he will take $50,000, just to keep him busy. His number is 512-355-6364. I sent him one.
