I emailed the "real" Samuel A. Berrey, from the email address posted on the ZED about the hijacker, no response. I'd think just about anyone "sane" would want to know their "good name" was being sullied by a scammer & maybe eventually open them up to a fraud case? Makes ya wonder, maybe they're in c...

I paid him back,I have a program and i stuffed his inbox with 2000 e-mails..Too Funny. If you would have sent him your paypal e-mail address he probably has hacking software and could gain entry to your account and go on a shopping spree!!But he will be busy for the next few day's trying to keep hi...

Who in there "right" mind uses valves in this country to refer to Tubes... I can think of one Brit who happens to be very "active" in this forum. :lol: Yep, that's why I said.... " I'm sure we all know they are the slang for tubes, I've heard Aussies, Kiwis & Brits refer to them regularly that way,...

Not on the FCC site, avoid dealing with N4OND. Not defending the call sign "Hijacker", N4OND is listed on the FCC ULS search site & as his QRZ bio states is General Class. His Bio is actually short & sweat, with no deficit in the English language or grammar errors like the Hijacker.... The emails W...

I posted a "want" & quickly , almost too quick 2 reply's. The first didn't have the exact radio i was looking for, the alarm went off on the second one. wanting WU Money transfer (Western Union for those like me who scratched his head til I decoded what WU was, long day?) So no more "want" postings...

:evil: Fellow Hams, it has come to my attention the Chinese are flooding the market with cheap, essentially throw away JUNK ham gear!! Which I'm sure you're all aware of, unless, like the Geico commercial, you've been living under a rock! Hi Hi For all that's Holy don't fall for their ploy, after f...

sold pending funds I think is ok to let people know that it might be sold But.....the SOLD SOLD crap..............well its just as bad as (also listed on Ebay) Bull!! Bull indeed, on both SOLD SOLD & the rude Ebay "threats".......... :roll: Then there're the MORONS who don't know what the keyboard ...

I particularly like the "my agent will pick it up".... Maybe he's a secret agent ... :?: Had a similar one when I was selling an excess computer on Craigslist..... That MORON wanted me to believe he was going to pay way over retail & have his agent pick it up since he was on his Honeymoon in Hawaii....

Be careful out there...

Or just do the honorable thing and issue a real Paypal payment. Besides, when you "gift" money, there is no protection from unscrupulous sellers. Then again, the seller who goes back on his word by requesting you to help subvert paying the legitimate fees is very likely not worthy of your trust. Yo...

Steve, We are on the edge of the delivery time line. I believe that the majority of hams are still holding off passing judgement. Anthony Weiner had the opportunity to keep the public in his corner by being honest and forthright. He chose the wrong path. Let us know what you have done to this point...

People need to take EXTRA care when dealing with someone afflicted by the dreaded "No Call Sign Syndrome".....
Just My 2¢s....
Thanks for the heads up!!!!

I say alleged for disclaimer purposes only

Cheers & Beers...
Bravo!

Every antenna manufacturer lists unrealistic gain claims. All of them. You expected gain from an HT Antenna? You expected Gain from a Stubby HT Antenna? Antenna theory must not be one of your strong points. And you're an Extra! Amazing! So you didn't do your homework, and it is this companies fault...

I had an Ebay transaction with a Jeff Easterly and the recipient was Robert Musser (one in the same? hard to say).... Thanks 4 the heads up!!!! IMHO, the moral of the story is... stay of Sleaze Bay (no slight to you) .....QTH, QRZ, EHAM et al, have their share of Aholes too, but I think, not nearly...

My experience was NOT a "good" one....:evil: Bought an HT antenna that made "gain" claims it didn't come close to. After many failed attempts at 2 email addresses for the seller & their web claim of "100 guaranteed satisfaction", had to dispute purchase with PayPal.. xxxx, answering Flippin' emails...

As I posted in a separate thread : " Has unfilled warranty card...." Meaning: " I'm too lazy to register the rig & I want you to believe you have some kind of factory warranty making this rig special" ONLY Icom warranty is transferable, with proof of purchase, to new owner for the balance of warran...

I have another "gripe" re: "sellers" ... be cautious<IMHO> about hams who use "pen names" & not their call-sign when posting an item for sale....are they embarrassed about being a ham or is it a ploy

I won't respond even if it's the "rig of my dreams" .....

:?: I see many ads here & on other Swap boards with sellers stating "with unfilled warranty card". My question is unless it's an Icom less than 12 months old, so what???? FYI, per my conversation today with Yaesu today, they (& Kenwood) ONLY honor warranty to ORIGINAL OWNER for 12 months, none trans...

I've also had the "opposite" problem,,, responding to a "for sale" & getting no reply, as if they don't check email or really don't want to sell.....:?: Gotta wonder.... Oh well..lifes little mysteries....:P KB3RPE Thanks, OM, I suspected as much. After six non-responses in a row I was worried I was...
