WARNING!!!

There is an equipment broker operating in the Toronto
area who is stealing equipment.  These guys will get you
to ship equipment to them on an emergency basis, with the
promise to FedX a check in return.

I was personally "hit" for a DEC memory board (MSV11-PL)
which I sent under such an arraingement.  

The company is called "Computer Interconnect" or the
"Interconnect".  The people working the scam are 
Don McLeggon and Brian Richards, in Scarborough, Ontario.
Their phone number is 416/398-4633.  

Please E-mail to this account if you have had simular 
experiences.  I am utilizing legal means to recover, and
would be glad to help out others.

Also, you may want to check the seriel number of any 
1 MB memory boards you may have recently purchased for
your DEC 11/44. The stolen board is S/N ZG33101949.
This number is being reported to both American and 
Canadian Authorities.

Call me @ 206/487-3616 if I can help!
