KI5OO hijacked

Post by K7WXW »

A scammer, out of Russia, is posing as KI5OO. He responded to a WTB ad I posted. A quick check of his credentials showed that his email address used a Russian server and a follow up contact to KI5OO confirmed that he had no equipment for sale. The fact that the equipment photos he sent me had obviously been photoshopped made things a little easier.

A note to sellers: it sure is a lot easier to figure out if you are legit if (a) you have a profile on KRZ and (b) you include an email address.
wag more. bark less.
