Good Morning All,

You may recall that last week I advertised on this Reflector for a 4-1000A 
tube...

While I did receive several bona fide responses, I also received the message 
that I am including below. It is, word for word, an exact duplicate of one that 
I got a couple of days earlier, with the only difference being that the 
supposed seller in that instance was purportedly from Poland, and not the U.K.

Looking at the poor grammar & the vague references in the text of the message 
it is fairly obvious that this is a "phish" --- by my posting this, I am hoping 
that the manager of the Amps Reflector might know that some scam artist(s) is 
trolling the list, & to let unsuspecting subscribers know that not all is what 
it might first appear to be...especially if it might involve a potential 
exchange of money!

"FWIW" (for what it's worth)...
