QTH.COM Swap Chat

I almost fell for a scam. I posted a want ad for an MFJ890 Beacon Receiver. Received an email from a person claiming to be a Jeff C Robertson, call sign KJ4RWH of Bedford, VA who said he wanted $60.00 Shipped but wanted a postal money order sent to his wife a Maryjo Mellor, 5700 windy gorge street, LasVegas, Nevada 89149. I sent a reply agreeing to price but told him I was uncomfortable sending to wife. I said I would send to his ham address and he could send to his wife himself. He said that his kid needed money for tuition. Well the red flag went up.. Looked up phone # for KJ4RWH and he said his call was hijacked. Close call Watch Out! The email he used was jeffkj4rwh@outlook.com
