[TenTec] FW: Warning on eBay

[ss409ss at aol.com]

  I am usually aware of these things and all of the other scams, but one caught me off guard a while back but I was able to change my password before anything happened. I was pretty ashamed of myself when I realized what happened and it was very clever and one I havent seen before..  
 
  I listed a bunch of stuff on Ebay and  after the auctions ended I got an Ebay email which opened up like the typical inter-Ebay type correspondence we've all seen before. I answered the email and realized that it was a phishing email after I sent the reply.. I then logged in and changed my password and all was ok but if I didn't realize it, I would have been jammed..

Hi Dave,  I did not see your ad, but might be interested in your Orion II. 
I live in Nashville and my Brother lives in Knoxville on the east side. 
What filters do you have or anything else with the xcvr?  73 Don n4zz
