OP is using an old politics trick "I am rubber you are glue" http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=I'm%20rubber%20you're%20glue

My credentials are not important. Let's just say I am a bum.

Let's talk about your business. IF your business is legit you must be proud of it. you say you have a good reputation going back years on Ebay. Would you not want to show your customers this achievement and just shut my mouth like I am a big lying spammer.

... But you can't prove anything can you? No Legit business. I can already foresee your upcoming posts, carry on blaming me instead of proving you have a real business. That's what scammers do 101. Prove me wrong or move to your next scam.

PURE SCAM.
