bancorpinc (10:04 AM): Let me know when you send the email
C (10:07 AM): Actually, I'm going to have to decline as I've been doing some research online and have found a scam that mirrors this almost exactly. Even the responses are identical.
bancorpinc (10:07 AM): ok
bancorpinc (10:07 AM): Bye


I found another scam that answered almost identical to this one under The Lightning Car Co on this site. Some of his responses were verbatum. I also checked the bancorp website, and noted that Ellen Rosen was listed but the site didn't list an address or phone number.
