When I saw that "stolen embroidery machine" thing on here, I thought (before reading all of it) that the ladies in my quilting group had sent it in! I got such a bargain on a used emb. machine a couple weeks ago, they accused me of stealing it! I got a Janome memory craft 8000 (about 10 yrs old, but works great) along with a box of 56 spools of Janome emb. thread, 32 spools reg thread, and 16 "cards", each with dozens of emb. designs -- for at total of $40!! This couple was selling things from "Granny's" estate. My friends say I stole it. Mine was not a scam, but hope people are forewarned about the real scam.
