Scammer - Barry Lawson - No Callsign
Posted: Wed Apr 17, 2024 5:12 pm
Person with the "name" of Barry Lawson (no callsign, email: btully140@gmail.com) contacted me via email inquiring about the amplifier I have for sale on QTH Classified.
First email from this guy:
"i came about your post, i like to know if is still available, and what is the condition and your best price, can i have more picture if possible?what is your call sign? Await your respond. Barry"
Of course my call is in the ad, which he should have seen. He didn't give me his callsign, so I asked in the reply.
Second email:
"Sound good, i think am pleased wih your respond, however the pick up will be made in person or i pay you extra to help ship at the post office or fedx, Meanwhile My mode of payment is a cashier's check which will clear your Bank before we proceed, so I need your full name and a mailing address where the check will be sent to"
Still no callsign.
Responded and told him I needed his callsign, again.
3rd email:
"That's fine with me my call is KG9D. My mode of payment is a cashier's check, I will
arrange with a Pick up person to come for the pickup when it clears your
bank or i send extra funds for you to help me ship is via usps office, so I need your full name and a mailing address where the check
will be sent to"
Oh boy, that call does not belong to Mr. Barry.
I replied and told him to go fly a kite, and his email is hereby on "the list".

Not too bright. Must not have been a scammer too long. He's off to a bad start.
