Hi, I gotta ask and I'm sure someone would if I didn't, but how do we know this guy is legit? He's jumped up on a forum saying, "Hey, police raided me, help. gib mone plz" and failed to provide and reason as to how he's real and not just making it up.
Maybe if there's a way to know this guy is legit, I'll help out if possible, but until then I'm just going to watch others with caution and I suggest others do as well.
