  If you note, all of his posts are in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
  
  There are 2 posts just in the last 30 minutes from people (Dave from Arizona and Joan) that claim to have ordered from Tim. Hmmm, Dave and Joan's posts are in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. Hmmmm....
  
  Also, Joan claims to have ordered from Tim last week, but the earliest post that I see from Tim is 4/13 (Saturday). I searched the posts all the way back to 4/1 and didn't find any mention of Tim's service. How could Joan have ordered from Tim if he didn't start advertising his service until 4/13?
  
  Doesn't really matter, the posts in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS tells me what I need to know. Tim is also Joan is also Dave from Arizona. Nice try Tim, but take your Caps Lock off next time.

  One of the rules to follow:
     If it sounds like a SCAM, it probably is.
  
  Same as:
     If it sounds too good to be TRUE, it probably is.
  
  Hopefully, many readers here are SMARTER than the SCAMMER.

  I figured it was a possible scam. I like to hold my lottery tickets in my hand and get them myself. That's part of the thrill.

  Just like why pay someone to pick lucky numbers. Don't send anyone you don't know money to purchase tickets. Chances are it is a scam. If you can't get to a state to purchase your own tickets, pick a game in your own state and play that one. But never let someone you don't know have your money in good faith to buy tickets for you.

  All your reasons are valid enough to be suspicious. Hell, the simple fact that we can't see the people we interact with online is enough to make you suspicious. But at the same time it's not enough to condemn TIM. The all caps thing doesn't fly. Find out if all these posts are coming from the same IP address, there's your proof. Also consider that it's possible that Joan and TIM met somewhere outside of this message board, long before TIM's first post here on 4/13
