Thanks for alerting me to the scams.   I received two offers to buy premium 
receivers from someone who noticed my bids for premium receivers on eBay.


example from mike00 at luxmail.co.uk

Hello eBay member , I want to tell you that I have the same 2 WATKINS 
JOHNSON WJ-8604 MINICEPTOR w/cables just like one you bid on eBay. It is 
brand new in original factory box. I want to make you an offer and give you 
this to a lower price : $1600.00 including all shipping cost.


The other one was more vague but the layout and wording was very 
similar.  It was after I bid on a WJ spectrum display unit.  The e-mail 
address was in Germany.

This is really weird.  I read the original post and thought it would be an 
isolated incident and didn't give it a second thought.  I was shocked to 
get two offers.
