A scammer is posing as KB9KQU. He responded to a WTB ad I posted. A quick check of his credentials showed that his email address merely added a digit to the email address of KB9KQU. The fact that the equipment photos he sent me included a photo of an instruction manual with the name of a different ham on it 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 in it!
