[sdiy] Second attempt to warn of paypal scammer

[Graham Atkins]

Hi Bob,

Sorry for the late post, I've been away.

My guess, young ignorant kid that just wasted his years savings on an  
MS20 from Ebay only to find it wasn't quite perfect (As it was made  
before he was born !!). Probably ZERO experience of buying from the  
US. Tell me his address, I'll send the lads around !!.
