Scams still around!
Posted: Fri Nov 05, 2004 3:36 am
I received this as a reply to an ad posted by me for an estate sale of W9EVG. The person, which did not give a call, was interested in a Heathkit SB-220 amp. Here is a copy of the email sent to me. Looks like this is a general fill-in-the-blanks email for scammers. Word to the wise, the scammers are still out there!
