I want to find out if the person I am emailing is real. He even has a website, but it doesn't seem to do anything other than tell about himself and have his picture plus pictures of his "antiques" for sale. How do I find out more?
Thanks in advance.

His name is Michael Elliot Bauman. He says from Newnan, GA and his mom lives here, but he lives in Los Angeles. Email address is [email protected]. His website is http://m.antiquesandfabrics.com.
At first his language skills were great and he sounded so legitimate. But his emails are longer and seem to be some rather "customized" language. And he doesn't always answer my questions.
He say his son is getting degree in medicine and surgery. His dad from Netherlands - lost his dad in 2003 and lost his wife 8 years ago of cancer. Now wants my phone number and I'm really hesitant to give any other information.
Thanks for your help.

The best thing to do is block him and don't respond any further. Don't make excuses or confront him, just disappear.
