Did you use Friends and Family or Goods and Services? The former offers no protection whatsoever.

did you google deemaan2@yahoo.com? Looks like it's associated with hacker websites.

KJ6RDJ has no published email address. Big Red Flag!

Does deemaan2 = David Fairchild?

You can try and contact KJ6RDJ on QRZ.com by sending him a private message.

He's on instagram @kj6rdj
