Thanks for the alert. Just now received the same type of message from the same name for one of my postings. Was alerted when QRZ could not ID the callsign. The IP address of the person is 47.219.40.102 Suddenlink Corporation in Tyler, Texas. I wonder if Suddenlink knows one of their employees is probably using company assets to scam people.

I also received the same message for an ad I placed "Want To Buy" two days ago.
