Not the same "Michael Cantrell" of Shutterbug scam fame...?
MC took several of us on two different occasions with classified
ads in Shutterbug, with Hasselblad and Nikon ads... He was
caught after several years, allowed to provide restitution
instead of jail time, but I never heard anything about him
after that, and never saw any money returned...
