What would you do?

So we are moving house and trying to get rid of some of our stuff and give some away before we leave.
We've been using Craiglist (like GumTree) to find worthy homes for some things.
So I responded to a post asking for unwanted PS2 stuff and I offered a console and games with controllers and the like. The guy "Jay" was very happy to here from me.
Anyways his name showed up on his email response and I googled him, as you do to not get scammed, and he came up as a registered sex offender, same age as he said he was and within 5 miles of the town he said he lived in. John Carawan, Mount Holly, NJ.

Anyways I couldn't be sure it was him so I decided to call him up this morning and ask him. Awkward conversation of the year award goes to.....

On phone he said it wasn't him and it was a weird conversation
Later he emailed me to say he didn't want the system and included a quote from the Bible: Judge not or you will be judged.
So is it him do you think or is it not???

I am concerned he may have used the system to lure young children. Or even have children kidnapped? Who the frig knows these days?!!?

Do I call the cops and if so what the heck do I tell them?

If you are 12 call the cops.

If you are over 18 he has done nothing wrong.

well making up a story to secure a PS2 and games is strange, but not illegal, that is correct.
His offenders profile says he was last released 6 years ago.
I am just concerned about what his intentions were.
Just wanted to get others opinions on the whole thing.

thanks

I didn't thankfully Stew. Kind of freaked me out a bit you know. Just thinking what he might do. He was last incarcerated in FL...
Crazy people out there...

+1. If you want to ditch stuff give the halfway decent stuff to a charity.

I'd be inclined to alert the cops.  Seems like it could be a possible rouse to strike up conversation with a kid.  Could be completely innocent, but if there is a chance that you could possibly prevent something happening to a poor child, I'd alert the authorities and explain your concerns.
