QTH.COM Swap Chat

Be very cautious of any replies to any WTB (wanted to buy) ads you may place.
If you get a reply from a person named Armondo Martins, va3alm@gmail.com WATCH OUT.
He gave me an email address to send the money to his paypal account.
That email address was soldiersmom or soldiersmomma@yahoo.com.
Ethel, McCoy in Arkansas is who will end up with your money.
After contacting him to find out what happened he said I will make it up to you by
having his friend put $650.00 in my paypal account. I was to keep out the $250.00 that
I lost and then send the remaining $400.00 by moneygram to a mailing address he was going to send me.
Sure enough they tried to put he $650.00 in my account, it was there waiting for me to accept it.
But before I could even think about accepting it (which I didn't, I decline it), "they" were asking for their money in
a threatening demanding way.
I say "they" because in their hurried greed to get this money, they slipped up and the emails came from different names, but with the same email
address of va3alm@gmail.com The names that came up were: Armondo Martins, Mibul Bin, Joe Evaristo, and Joes Evaristo.
Those names along with the little old lady named Ethel McCoy in Arkansas are all involved in this. Included in the emails were fowarded information from thier little scheming emails containing info about purchase of 45 pistols, rifles, laser sights etc... Sounds criminal to me.
BEWARE.

I forgot another scammer in the U.K. to watch out for.
He uses the name: Adrian Cook.
He hijacked someones callsign from the U.K.
and was using it to reply to WTB ads also.
If I can find the callsign he was using in my
emails, I will post it here.

Seems like most of these guys use the following
email server host names listed below:

xxxx@gmail.com
and
xxxx@hotmail.com

I am sure there are many other email server host names they use,
probably due to it being hard to track down to the true individual doing it.

As another person who stated on a previous post:
If they reply to your WTB ad, and send you pics of the item
your looking for, do a search yourself on the web, and you will
more than likely find the exact pictures somewhere that they
copied and sent to you.

Seems like a lot of this scammer stuff is coming from Canada and the U.K.
At least thats what I have experienced, but it probably comes from everywhere.
I have cordially invited the 3 people who have ripped me off lately to come
by the house for a visit. I have a special surprise waiting for them, can't
tell you what it is but it will be the best bang ever for my buck.
