Hello, I am interested in buying your Item.How long have you owned it and Why are you selling it? I will like to see more available pictures and How much are you asking for it?.Do you accept (Certified Check) as a mode of payment? Regards

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.
