BEWARE - scammers targeting broadcast equipment collectors

Just wanted to warn all fellow collectors out there, that the nigerian scammers are taking things one step further!

I've been receiving emails from time to time through my website from supposed individuals who have old equipment they wish to
either donate or sell to me.

The latest one is extremely bold, i got an email from someone telling me they have an RCA TK76 for sale, when i asked for more info
they sent me a whole lot of photos...which i thought looked familiar, and are actually from Chuck Pharis's website...a quick google search reveals
that this persons email is one that is well known for a nigerian email scam...and of course fittingly there is very bad english and grammatical mistakes
in it too!

No doubt this person is hoping i will hand over money for this camera which doesnt exist!

So, all please be careful - the must be getting desperate to go to this much trouble

James
