I have a code I can use to call in to Crimestoppers to get an update. They were interested in contacting my Bernina dealer to confirm that this machine really is worth much more than was asked in the ad. I'll call again tomorrow and let them know you ladies on top of things! I knew it was either a scam or a stolen machine. I had no idea the same scam was all around the country. I think they'll follow up on it and keep you posted.
