He sent a email via pay pal for email address to send money. Looked really legit and between callsign and use of pay pal I felt it was safe. Then after several emails via personal email and via paypal I finally opened a dispute with Paypal. Even the phone number shows from Indianapolis. Everything checked out. Even sent me an email stating that he had a loss in his family and was shipping it out. I have ask several times for shipping information. So this was a scam. A good one as everything matched. Though now with dispute hopefully it will stop KC9DP from doing this again.
