    I edited this for space.  I've had the same experience when making 
post to a number of the reflectors that I subscribe to looking for parts 
for radios.  This has been going on for some time.  I second your 
advice.  Ask for a phone number.  These crooks usually won't do that or 
they are in Timbuktu somewhere.  There are a LOT of shady people looking 
to take anybody's money for just about any reason.
