>    ABA dealers are advised to be extremely cautious if dealing with
>    one Oleg Chebotarev who purports to offer books from Russia. He has
>    been contacting dealers here and in the U.S., from an email address
>    of "russianbooks.mail.ru", offering Russian and other books. The
>    books are plausible and the sums not large, but he requires
>    pro-forma payment, or partial payment, with various excuses, with
>    payment made to the Savings Bank of the Russian Federation via The
>    Banker's Trust, New York. The books don't arrive, with
>    various excuses about being held up in customs. He may be
>    synonymous with, or affiliated with, David Holt.
