Quote from Richard Mitcherll on June 27, 2024, 4:18 pmI received a request for a photo of my linear amp, which I duly sent. I then received a poorly written message asking for my details and referring generically to my « product » so he could ask his « secretary » to issued (sic) a cashier’s cheque. Sounds like either a phishing scam or a cheque fraud scam to me. Just ignored it.
