Fw: [Boatanchors] Radio sets available in Russia

[Brian Clarke]

Hmmm, William,

The book 'Red Ears' has been out for a while and was reviewed recently, 
downunder.

The text of the request for help reads almost like the Nigerian money 
scams that seem to keep circulating. Anyone who had read 'Red Ears' 
could have cobbled this story together and added the request for money. 
I'ld be VERY careful.

Received from Russia today. If you have an extra 2 million and a
passport here is your big opportunity.
