Got an offer outside this system for an impossible good price on a K2 which he couldn't describe. Photos were from a Japanese website. Only takes payments with no protections and his email is good on QRZ mexicallirick@outlook.com

For the past several weeks I've noticed a ridiculously high lookup count relative to my QRZ.com file. I ignored it choosing to think that someone was having a stupid kind of fun at my expense. This was however not the case as was brought home to me by my being locked out of the site for several days. After contacting the administrators I was told that my account was phished and used to post scam swap meet ads. I imagine at one time or another we're all done in if only briefly by some scamming P.O.S. and I suppose it was just my turn. Though I'm not responsible for these events I nevertheless want to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Rick S. Newman/N7RSN
