You come on this site and ask for assistance. You don’t post your real email address because apparently you don’t trust folks here not to send you “garbage”. Well, if you don’t trust them to not fill your inbox with spam, are you really going to take their advice? Just my opinion, but it all seems like BS.
A woman contacted me about a note she wants to sell. Remaining principal is close to $50,000, value of property is about $90,000. Monthly payments are $513 @ 9%, no balloon. Woman would probably take $40,000 for the note, and there is hardly any risk here, but where do I come up with $40,000? Would a bank get involved in a transaction like this?

Hello Levi,
Being as you listed your email response address as bs@bs.com
not sure any of us would want to waste any time on what might also be a lot of bs.
You’ll also see from a number of posts made in just the past three weeks, that you haven’t provided near enough information for anyone to tell you if anybody will buy THAT note.

The above IS my real email address, BTW. I am not Levi.
The issue that Levi refers to is the situation where automated web “crawlers” will search the web for email addresses and build a spammable database for microfractions of a penny on the dollar compared to what you can pay for a valid, commercial email list. These do exist and are quite numerous, and cheap to build. I myself could probably write a really good one in under a day – not that I would. I sincerely doubt that Levi had intended any slight upon any member of this board. It is the general public he is concerned with.
I myself use my plegriggles email address pretty much only for creonline posts. I nonetheless get spam on this address. I understand and sympathize with Levi.
Please, cut him some slack. He knows what he is doing!
