QTH.COM Swap Chat

I didn't initially realize that my first contact with, supposedly, N3DQ, Adella F Mueller, was NOT through QTH.COM. Big red flag and I missed it. A QTH.com search listed no email address for Adella but the call sign is there. In any event after I clarified what I was looking for in my WTB listing I was sent a commercial picture of the item desired and an "I got it" message. Finally, I caught on. BTW, the email addresse used was adellafmueller@gmail.com. More than likely this scammer is not the real N3DQ but regardless proceed with caution.
