Possible SCAM

[Ed Mosher]

I received a request for some information from a "ham" in South America.
He wanted to purchase some of my surplus Heath manuals.  He stated he
was, however, afraid to send money orders via mail, and he asked for "MY
Bank account number and bank routing numbers" so he could make a wire
transfer.  Am I the only one who sees something not quite right here.

In case you've been hiding for a long time, with those numbers someone
can CLEAN OUT your account as well as deposit to it.  BEWARE if anyone
wants to do business that way.

There IS a way to do this. Check your bank for the procedure to have
money transfered directly to the BANK in a secure account.  It's called a
UPI transfer, for "Upon Proper Identification"  That way banks talk to
banks only, and do not access accounts directly.

FYI;  Seller Beware!
