I posted Chuck’s old dorm fridge on my local freecycle group this morning. Through the Yahoo groups just like I’ve done a half dozen times. I was delighted when I got an email less than 30 minutes later.
Sure It was a bit odd that she refered to her son as going to uni.
But when she asked for my postcode because google maps didn’t recognize my address… I got suspicious. Then I checked her email address. yahoo.co.uk.
It turns out she lives in Chester, Cheshire, England… not Chester, VA… where the group I posted to is located. How this happened I have no idea.
I feel like I have to ask folks who reply to my posts if they are actually in the US.
