Organ Purchasing Scam
By Bill and Dee Kavouras

Hi,  The recent alerts about the scam from Africa does not only pertain
to pianos.  We were contacted by a person who said he lived in England,
but was in Africa on business.  The item we have for sale is a monkey
organ that is advertised on Todd Augsburger's mechanical music site,
http://www.rollerorgans.com/

The buyer wanted to have a friend that owed him money send us a check
for more than the price of the organ and then to send the organ to him
in England plus the extra money.  It sounded really weird to us, as we
had been involved in that Antique Trader scam quite a few years ago.
So, we did not want to deal with him.

Let the buyer _and_ seller "beware!"
