NEW SCAM - CAREFUL

If someone ask you to take a picture of the equipment you are selling with your call written on a piece of paper draped over what you are selling, beware. That gives them the ability to sell that item using your callsign. It would look like they actually have the item...

Wish I would have read this a couple hours ago. It happened to me today. Digging into it, it looks like I got scammed. This is the first time I have attempted to sell anything on QTH and this happens. Never again. I will only sell at hamfests and in person from now on.
