Edward C Hoffman K5AH Scammer activity

Post by W8SAW »

Scammer is again using Edward C Hoffmann K5AH as a fake ID.

Replied to my wanted advert for Drake Noise Blanker.

Email being used is Edwardk5ah@gmail.com

E mails are short and badly phrased .

Be sure to check directly with the real K5AH in Louisiana before you make any transaction.

I too was sent an email by someone who I believe is masquerading as K5AH. If you have lost an item and/or cash to this person, please consider filing a complaint with the FBI on their Internet Crime Complaint Center at https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx. Since this scam is interstate in nature it clearly falls under their jusrisdiction.
