Their command of the English language, or lack of it, should be a dead giveaway.

Hi Rob
I was caught by a scammer myself! What they do is if you make a payment thinking it is for me,they divert the payment to themselves.They do not actually have any gear to sell.
Happy 2010 to you and yours from
Peter MW0ZZD
