amolshejwal007 (who joined today) sent me a PM wanting me to lay concrete for them. I've never laid concrete in my life. Seems fishy.

I think people are jumping on the wrong side here. From what I've seen the user just contacted Tim via PM to ask for a reference/contact info for the people who worked for him before...
