Answered two of my posts this am, with vague response inquiring about availability. Used odd phrasing. IP ADDRESS Shows in South Africa. No listing for K4PIQ on QRZ.COM. Strike 3 , you appear to be a scammer , like this years Cincinatti Reds, you are OUT!!! Beware all, 73 Bill W9VC

Same here, he/she replied with the bogus call of P4PIQ and asked with a typical spammy response:

> Hi, i am interested in the purchase of your item posted on on the
> site. pls i will like to know the availability and the firm asking
> price. Hope to read from you soonest.

Count me in! I got one of those replies too!

I posted a "W.T.B." ad last night on the site. This morning, I got a reply from K4PIQ. Took about 1 second to figure out it's a scam! K4PIQ wants to buy from me!

Plus the scammer-ese and a bogus call.

This one belongs on "DUMBEST CRIMINALS".

PS: I also posted alerts on QRZ & eHam. Hope this one doesn't go far!

I also received an inquiry about equipment I have listed with the same phraseology as posted below.
Call not valid --> most likely scammer as others have said.
