Actually in a way it does.... Someone posted early this month or the end of last, about someone asking to buy his honey... gallons of it and use a charge card and pick up the honey. The whole thing, I don't remember it all, was fishy and we were all sure it was a scam.

You're welcome... Just wished I knew who it was that was asked to sell it.... someone from Texas I think.
