Probably a long shot... but I have not had any problems with regular CFL lights, and there are some nice advantages of CFL over regular fluorescent tube lights. There are conversion kits that allow you to convert a tube fixture to CFL.

For example:

I will send a cashier's check with an extra $500. Please send the extra $500 to my friend in ______.

• You are about to be screwed by the Nigerian Cashier's Check scam

I've kicked this around and definitely thinking about it. Thanks for the feedback!

- Scott KA9FOX

Comparing this email to some other confirmed scam emails... and I see that sometimes the scammer really does use the real mailing address of the callsign holder.

SO... after further review... I now believe this really was a scam, and for sure not by EA6BC.

Good call, Jerry.

- Scott

Well, you know... I have to say I have never seen a scam where the scammer puts the REAL address in the email. Now I have the feeling that this is NOT a scam! I have seen the cashier's check scam so many times, and this is nearly a duplicate... but as I examine it closer... I am now thinking this is...

K4KK, this was posted in the Safe Trading Tips for good reason -- this is clearly NOT Jose EA6BC posting the message, but some scammer pretending to be him. Generally, these guys are trying to pull the Cashier's Check scam. They will send you a check LARGER than the amount owed you, and ask you to c...

kj4eds Dale scott i wonder why you are intent on defending this man. i thought you own the site here shouldnt you be out of it I am a ham radio operator, and a user of the site, and I had a great experience with N1EQ's service. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. You posted yours, I posted mine....

kj4eds Dale as for my opinion i wouldnt send a 1000 $ radio to any one with out phone number and a talk on the phone but there are suckers born every minute sound like a scam to me Yep, real scam there. 5 out of 5 rating on eHam reviews, with 180 reviews. http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/5640 Kee...

N1EQ's website is pretty clear about his policies: http://n1eq.com/main/page_rates__policies.html This is an internet-based business. Email is the primary and preferred method of contact. I do not conduct business by phone, fax, or mail. Phone consultation is available to established customers only....

I had an absolutely fantastic experience getting my IC-746 repaired by N1EQ. I very much liked the fact that he has specific steps to take, in order to get a quote, have the repair done and for shipping arrangements. Everything is above board, fully documented and done in a way that insures the radi...

I sent you a direct email with the number he was using on his ads, before he was blocked at QTH.

I believe you have the callsign mixed up. Are you looking for David Roberts, W8DSR (ex WD8RYH)? If so, see this thread:

Who were they received from?

Scott I have the IP of this person impersonating Bob Campbell. I traced it back to a residential area of Illinois. Is there anyway to ban this particular IP from answering ads? Of course, the moment these guys are found, I block the IP. But as far as this "residential area of Illinois" business, I'...

Here's what the scammer was sending out to people. I find it so hard to believe that anybody would respond to this? But I guess so... email: bob1961camp@gmail.com fullname: BOB CAMPBELL callsign: G4CMI Ad Response: Hello How are you doing and your family? I am BOB CAMPBELL by name. I am contacting y...

Definitely a scammer, not really Bob Cambell, G4CMI.

Can you guys confirm that you mailed payment to his FCC address?

The courts have leaned toward posting other people's personal emails as copyright infringement. I'm not going to post someone else's email, nor am I going to comment on the content, other than it was interesting. If Joe wants to tell his side of the story, he can reply to this thread, of course. - S...

Joe got top dollar selling a non-functional radio. Thank you Joe. You've earned a place here in the feedback forum. He's also now earned a spot in our blocked users list, and will not be allowed to use the QTH.com Classifieds in the future, at least until this issue is resolved. UPDATE: Joe has con...

Lou did an SB-221 conversion for me last fall (2009) and I am super impressed. It was packed extremely well and arrived in perfect condition. The amp looks great inside and out. I'm very impressed and happy (and ready to work some DX this e-skip season!)

Our rules are clear -- no duplicate ads. It doesn't matter if they are on different days.

Please remove your duplicate ads, if you still have any online.

Hi Chris. Your callsign was only blocked from posting more ads in the classifieds, but was never blocked from using our Feedback Forum.

Larry, your email address here on this board is wrong. Click "profile" and update your email address.

Larry, you last emailed me on Feb 11th, 2010, about a problem with N0EE. Message arrived at 8:10PM CST, and I replied at 8:25PM CST. The message went to l*******d@sbcglobal.net. I've checked my server logs, and SBCs mail server accepted the message. If you didn't get it, then you have an email probl...

Larry, my email address is at the bottom of every page on the classifieds. If you use it, I will get the message. If you use the private messaging on this site, I will also get it. In both cases, I will reply. If you don't get a reply, then you have a spam filtering problem.
