[Boatanchors] Fw: intrested in buying the radio

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

One must wonder about a business with personal assistants, clients with cash to
burn and the inability to use a spell checker! I would love to read their annual
financial statement. I am curious if they can misuse the number zero! I wonder
what their reaction would be if an American turned down a 'safe as cash'
cashiers check certified by a bonified crook, and requested cash from the
country of the buyer in an amount of their currency equal to the converted
amount in USA dollars? Said cash to be sent by overnight courier direct to the
seller's bank to be exchanged for the equivalent amount in USA dollars. Probably
print some right up on their state of the art color printer! Hard to believe
people really do fall for these scams, but sadly they do, and all too often.

Here's an email I just received.  It's apparently a scam involving radio
gear and money. As you can see he hasn't quite sprung the trap yet.
At least it's not another get rich scheme  from Liberia.
I'm starting to think the national product of Liberia is FRAUD.
