QTH.COM Swap Chat

Back at ya Scott, would do business anytime with you..

I've experienced the same thing with wanted ads. I have a fairly extensive collection of nice stuff that I am in the process of downsizing and have responded to several want ads so far. Often get a reply back with a request for more info, we exchange several emails with pictures and description and...

Just pay me what I ask, with no questions asked!

Send pics to serious buyers only..

Duh, I can't use a computer to upload pics or am just an ignorant moron....

It looks like someone is trying to use my call to answer want Ads. Do not answer emails from Hotmail or other like accounts. Scammers use valid calls and set up fraudulent Hotmail.com accounts. Always check address and email as listed on QTH.com and QRZ.com. Phone number should be checked by number...

Scott Makes exellant points, when going thru ads there seems to be a WTB ad, then 2 or 3 posts later a FS ad with the item one is seeking...... Solution.... use SEARCH... since I'm one of thoise hams who likes to see whats out there when a bug bites., so do a search with 1 word only, ie: 7200 v/s ic...

Great advice I NEVER ship before funds are converted into cash in hand. I tell them I'm good on QRZ & let them do (or not) their thing, money ...then ship...And I've never had anyone offer more than listed...red flag there, a Ham that's not cheep

Not sure what the results are for those of you who, IMHO, don't "respect" their fellow hams with a little effort, but My results are stellar. Always post a pic even with the smallest item item and include my cell and appreciate when a seller does also. Never had an item last more than a day or two b...

Since you have proof he signed for your rig, have you attempted to contact shipper & his local authorities. Wonder if either or both would be interested in his fraud, especially if you have emails to substantiate this.

Wonder if QTH has any suggestions?

Yep, this thread and others have been open a while & honest hams should know better... and yet there are still "hams" that USE ALL CAPS, you have to beg for pics, can't spell (spell check!!!!)...etc, etc, ad-infinitum... My #1, wait for it....... ................................. no price........gu...
