Craigs space shady or no?

yeh so, earlier today i went to nyc to grab an aplication for a job. On the way back i had to take a transfer on the train to get where i was going. So i get off my train, and another train lets people off while I'm waiting. An older gentelman, nicely dressed, short grey beard, starts up a conversation first by asking me if the uptown train had just left, guess he saw the one i get off pass as his came in, I told him no and that I had jsut gotten off a jersey bound train.

Now, I don't know alot of stuff on the internet, but I have hear dof this craigs list thing like shady ghey stuff goes on either from a comedian or forums on internet but am not sure what i had heard, it fails my memory.

Anway, this guy asks me if I knew what it was, I replied yeh heard of it, know that it exists in the least. Then he mentions something about a studio he needs to have cleaned up, I would assume painting or something, so basically offerign me some mexican work but hey, get money where ya can when that's the way life goes. Conversation progresses over the next few minutes before my train arrives and i mention that I had been to pick up a aplication for a job, and what my college degree was in, and soemthing about my wife over the course of the conversation. After he finds out I have experience with software and hardware he also mentions that he is computer illiterate, and needs somone to do some instalations and crap on his spare computer. So he gave me his name and number in case i was intrested in some work, then the train came.

sooo, shady or not? vote and bump/comment pls ;)

I was just buggen out like how he went about starting the conversation. Been told before by a police officer that "I" looked like a mass murderer or something, and had a few kids standing by where i stop to get ciggarettes once call me a hitman, so i would hope that he didn't think i was somone he wanted to .. mess with.. maybe like serial killer kills serial killer fantasy?? :dance:

oh and he said he does some chinese medicine crap for a living, soudned intresting

I dont really feel that way at all...and sometimes you have to be the friendly one to notice that the others arent so grumpy

I dont really think its shady, i think he was just a nice old geeza, but always be sure before you go anywhere. Give him a bell on the dog and bone and see what he has to say for himself.

Give him a ding and go for it, just be sure to tell someone else where exactly you're going!

Peace

doesnt really sound that shady to me, but if he had a business card or something that would look much more legit

I was jsut saying, geographicly, area I live in has the highest concentration of asshole than anyplace in the world :thumbsup: but I like finding friendly people. Ohh and I looked this guy up on the internet because he had mentioned something about look him up after he had been telling me about the chinese medicine crap. First google result was the place he is a CIO at.

after looking at his companies website a bit i saw they rent studio spaces, like 1100 sq.ft. studios, so think i got an idea of what he wanted work done on besides the computer stuff.
