Someone is using my call and is posting false ads

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.

You can start Frank by updating your QRZ profile to include a valid email address for you. Most of these scammers look for a call sign to hijack that does not have any contact info in their profile.

Good luck!

That may help a bit. I really think that it is about time that QTH.com should create a secure login system for all users. Everyone will have to login first before they can do anything and if they do anything bad or illegle their actions will be recorded and known.
