Someone using K5BCN for scam attempt
Posted: Tue May 14, 2019 11:25 pm
Sunday night (12 May) I got a reply to my ad from someone using the call K5BCN. After some back and forth about payment method I got suspicious and checked QRZ more carefully than I had earlier. I noticed that the name was not quite right and the email address was different. An email to K5BCN at the correct address confirmed I was dealing with an imposter.
Fortunately I paid no money but I learned to check more carefully next time.
The real K5BCN is a trusted participant in this site. Maybe that is why his call was chosen for this attempt.
