A scammer?

Post by ce3ry »

I wonder if anyone knows Vitaly, AB6VD.
He has a post offering a vacuum capacitor. See Listing #1263304.

On May22 I sent him an email through QTH.com expressing my interest.
I became suspicious of a scam after checking his callsign in QRZ.com and finding that no email address is included there (now it is...) and that his license is about to expire.
I sent him an email explaining my concern. Then I asked for pictures including a local newspaper of the day... No pictures were sent to me.
He then asked me to "respond" via e-QSL. As I didn't, he calls me "Jerky"...
I wonder if he is a "real" ham...

Anyway, I lost interest in his offering...
