Although the IP address from which an email is sent gives us a good idea of roughly where the message was sent from, it's note precise enough to determine exactly which city, town, township, county, village, etc. a person resides in if we need to contact the local police/sheriff to report fraud. If you're not willing to share your name and location, there are other places to post your items, but to protect members of LEM Swap, we require this information.
