Joe's username is Moonlight Graham. However, other similar usernames that are currently registered are MoonlightGraham and moonlightgraham062905.
Which username did he use to contact you?

I often post my email and or phone# directly into threads. He emailed me directly from the email address I posted above saying he saw my post on Net54.
While I often share my number and email publicly, I am also cautious to check people out before completing a transaction - I asked for his Net 54 user id to which he replied "Moonlight Graham" I 1) looked up the id (saw the others as well - but who doesn't know their own user ID?, 2) reached out to Leon - who said the name and email the guy gave me were not associated with "Moonlight Grahams" account, 3) I PM'd "Moonlight Graham" (heard back later this afternoon that he (Joe) hadn't emailed me and 3) checked a few "Moonlight Graham" started threads and saw the name discrepancy - "Moonlight Graham" posts signed "Joe K" vs. the guy emailing me as Dave Hunk.
On a related/unrelated note - my phone number was "spoofed" twice today - just learned about this - a scammer can call someone trying to scam money from them having your phone number show up in the caller id!! Filed a report with the FTC.
