Scam? Caution [RE-wrenches]

[Paul Benson, Dankoff Solar]

We have had several dealers complain of this.  The buyer is typically
looking for a DR inverter.  I also received a call from the FBI who was
investigating this.  One dealer is out $10K from this scam.   The credit
card numbers are stolen so everyone be careful.
