[Elecraft] OT: beware of strange replies to your ads

[Chris Wagner]

Hello Seller,
           In reference to your online placed ad on ( www.eham.net ) please
could you tell me whether the advert is still for sale? Also tell me
whether its condition remains as described in your ad? Can i trust
you,Please include the current price too. Write soon.also do get back to me
with the following details about you:

Your Final Price :      ( Compulsory )

Thanks,
Kenneth.

These con artists can't be bothered to recall what your ad was about. They
use a generic reply and send this to countless sellers.

These scammers respond to both, for sale and wanted ads. There was a guy
"in London" who wanted to sell his mint TT Omni VI+ for 150 pounds.
Or some folks who wanted a laptop sent to some conflict region in Africa.
Then there are all those *reverends*... Once someone sent me a hot check.

Try to look up the IP address. This guy is using some private network. *Next
*.
