[Elecraft] OT: How to *NOT* get scammed.....emails offering to sell Elecraft equipment?

[Lewis Phelps]

One more suggestion: 

ask for photocopy of a sales receipt, or an invoice, showing that he purchased the item from a legitimate source (e.g. an Elecraft invoice).

I recently answered a Craigslist listing for an iMac.  Price seemed too good to be true. It was. I smoked out the fraud by asking for sales receipts. Seller suddenly went into radio silence.
