eHam.net Classifieds Detail

I posted a for sale ad for my Nye Viking Tuner and received a response from Joe Robin that appears to be a bad money order scam. I emailed the classified
section manager Mark Stennet about this guy and he suggested that I post a note here. Here are a couple of emails that I received from him:Below is part of the
exchange with this guy. My gut says to let him go, but I would not like him to involve others. I haven't committed anything to him. If the money is validated fine,
but I doubt that it will be. It doesn't really make a lot of sense to me for the amount of money involved, for this offer not to be valid. But I don't think so. Just be
wary..
