THIS ADD IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE FLEX 3000 FOR $950.00 THE CALL SIGN IS NOT IN THE DATA BASE. IF I AM WRONG I WILL APOLIGIZE BUT IF IT SMELLS LIKE A RAT IT IS A RAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your kind gesture, unfortunately i am having issues with paypal right now as my credit card is now expired and i won't be able to receive money into my paypal account until i have rectify this issue. I'd be glad if payment is made through Western Union (WU). Get back to me with your shipping details if you are still interested in buying.

I got an email reply from Robert Green and inspected the headers.
Email appears to originate from Nigeria:

Hopefully the vast majority of hams know that GTY7R is not a valid callsign, and would not enter into any transactions with someone that is clearly a scammer.
