Jim, On Cuddle Bears' FS post thread they decline to reveal their location, say they won't reveal their name, and don't address their use of someone else's photos in their FS thread. That thread also marks the first post by Cuddle Bears (perhaps they are a regular poster under another name, but that in and of itself is more than a bit peculiar...) -- those are all red flags for me. I think Max has a point -- Caveat Emptor. Be warned. FWIW, I'd not trust Cuddle Bears given the history of scammers -- this is a community -- new identities shrouded making an FS post shrouded in secrecy are not ideal ways to be a good member of the community.
