[R-390] auction scams

[Barry Hauser]

Hi Gang and "undisclosed recipients":

While we're on this off-topic topic, here's a good way to reduce risk of
auction scams:  Exorcise your paypal accounts if you have 'em by doing a
good deed.  Al Waller needs some funds and some of us are about due, so just
hop over to paypal and send some lucky bucks.  The qth payment ID is
k3tkj@qsl.net  but don't take my word for it -- check the official notice
that just went out..

Disclaimer:  I have no pecuniary interest in paypal (tho' they might have
one in me.). (Send the money any which way you can.)   I do have a vested
interest in the qth lists -- and so do you.  While there is no guarantee
that this "exorcism" will prevent falling victim to scams, at least the
amount you donate will be 100% swindle-free and well invested.  And .. as
usual, your mileage may vary.

Oh, yeah, the obligatory spam notice:  You did NOT receive this unabashed
piece of spam because you opted in by clicking a button on some web site or
merely stumbled into one during a messy web search.  I just felt like it --
nobody made me do it.  (i.e., don't blame Al.)

Ha ha -- gotcha!  (Could have been worse -- a real link might put you ON a
100's of spam lists.)
