BEWARE Scammer Posing as WIDLA and AA7V

Post by ka1bwo »

These scammers make sure that the call sign that they HI-Jack has no email posted on the host amateur QRZ page.
Then the scammer generates a new mail accounts using the host call sign. I had a want AD that expire about a month
ago. Last couple days I got two responses from these scammers they must of thought I was desperate by now. Both sent me photos of the want item. The photos were pulled off from sites on the internet one was dated 2010. Now the next thing was the catch the payment, PayPal ONLY they will get your money and run. When in doubt always contact the seller by phone.

Here are the emails from the scammer
posing as W1DLA. This scammer origin IP is from Germany

Shipping to that zip code shouldn't be difficult. $160 including shipping. Paypal address: kerrymorgan14@yahoo.com please pay via FAMILY AND FRIENDS, to enable payment reflect on my available balance. it will be shipped as soon as payment is confirmed.
