Possible fraud using "WOEWH" Beware.

For reports of scammers using other people's callsigns. Remember that any callsigns listed in this forum are likely innocent bystanders (subjects of identity theft) and, thus, are probably not guilty of anything. For bad transactions with verified ham operators, use the Feedback Forum instead.

Possible fraud using "WOEWH" Beware.

Post by AB4D »

This afternoon, I received a response to one of my QTH ads from an alleged "Harrison A Miller" using a fractured call sign of WOEWH. I doubt this came from the real Mr. Miller, whose call is W0EWH. The Yahoo email account that was supplied by the moron scammer in response to the QTH ad bounced as well. I suppose that is why they try to be a scammer, too dumb to get a real profession. If anyone knows the real Mr. Harrison, he should be alerted that some idiot is trying to commit fraud using his name and call.

Thank you for this very timely post.

Hi had a similar message and experience when his email bounced. That increases the chances this is not a real buyer.
Plus, how many serious buyers actually say "I'm a serious buyer". They just buy!
