K9SL and K8TAF

For reports of scammers using other people's callsigns. Remember that any callsigns listed in this forum are likely innocent bystanders (subjects of identity theft) and, thus, are probably not guilty of anything. For bad transactions with verified ham operators, use the Feedback Forum instead.

K9SL and K8TAF

Post by kw4h »

Looks like my little wanted ad for a HX-1681 is attracting flies. The individuals operating on this site as K9SL (Steven Lane) and K8TAF (Timothy A. Fleming) are both scammers. Same MO -- use a profile with no known email address on QRZ, and send you a direct email using outlook.com addresses. Other red flags: the word "ad" in their emails is oddly capitalized. Also, if you reply to them, they respond almost immediately. Real people aren't hanging by the keyboard, anxious to respond within seconds.
