BEWARE HIJACKED CALL VE3MPQ
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2022 12:31 am
Just received a response to my "WANTED" ad on QTH.com. The person claimed to VE3MPQ.
The response is:
hello
i have this items for sales, if still interested in buying I will email you some photos and details
best regard
73
I responded to the email but not to the address that was sent instead used the email listed on the QRZ bio page for VE3MPQ and received this response.
"Sorry someone has been hacking my call no Jupiter for sale here-ve3mpq"
Another tool to use in checking the buyer/seller is this site...(if you know the IP address which is shown on a QTH.com response)
https://whatismyipaddress.com
It shows the IP address 198.44.136.183 to be in New York City and not in Canada.
They're coming out of the woodwork like termites on a warm spring day.
