How is this news? It is a scam as old as the various websites themselves.

Oh well, just goes to show how far behind the times the local radio station here really is, never mind, there's bound to be someone on the Forum that doesn't know about it or is quite gullible, so if it only saves one person from making a big mistake it's worth the post
