POSSIBLE SCAM

Today I received an interesting email:

Good Morning, Dear Friend,

Our local Religious Community contains several radio amateurs and they
adviced us to appeal to you.

As a result of a big weather-catastrophe happened in the previous year
we lost everything. Now almost everything is repaired, but we are still
experiencing great difficulties in radio hi-fi equipment for listening
to Religious Music.

Therefore we would be more than pleased if you could help us with any
old hi-fi audio equipment which you don't use anymore such as a
turntable, power amplifier, etc., and send it to our postal address is:

Oleg Tiknonov,
P.O. Box 18.
Kaluga 248600.
Russia.

In a gratitude for your help, we would be happy to send you a
professional Russian communication receiver - Volna K from the personal
collection of our member.

We pray for your help and we hope to hear from you soon.

God Bless You,

Oleg Tikhonov.
Kaluga. Russia.

With so many scams running loose on the internet lately, I thought that I would let everyone know.

73,

so how is this a scam? Oh he is offering to send you equipment in return.

they are asking for turntables? thats those things that play black CD's right ??

Think I solved our landfill problem

 

Yeah I wonder if he would throw in a Cabage Patch Doll that probably was at the warehouse of PTL ? too ?

just about as phoney as the Nigerian scam

probably hit my old email address that Is soon to be nonexistant.

 

They must have a lot of "Professional"Russian Communications recievers...But then, I thought they had lost everything. Never mind that old Hi Fi gear, namely tube type, commands breathtaking prices in the moneyed audiophile community these days....

And, send the gear to a indivudual, as opposed to a church....

The letter is nonsensical and therefore suspicious
