In an Astromart classified, "Bill Been" is selling a set of TV Radians. What appears to be the exact same set (identical pictures used) is also being sold on Cloudy Nights by "Jimmy Nguyen." Obviously, someone is, at least, misrepresenting the picture (compare Astromart listing with http://www.cloudynights.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=724&sort=&cat=all&page=1). Is it more sinister than that? I'm also getting emails from "Bill" from several different addresses, which concerns me too. Any info appreciated.
Classifieds Scam?

Evan,
First off, the pictures in the ads are identical! 8O The names are different. :C I believe you have detected a scam or atleast someone that is misrepresenting himself either here or there. Thanks for bringing this to light. I had looked at that ad myself, but did not respond as I have the 4,5,6mm already.
I am sure Herb will be interested in this.
