[Hallicrafters] Dodgy sellers responding to Wanted Postings.

[Dan Cotsirilos]

We live in a world of throw away phones. A phone number is better than none 
but not a guarantee unless the phone traces to a home number.

    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.
