SCAMMER from mcs.w8wxm@aol.com acting as W9GT

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.

SCAMMER from mcs.w8wxm@aol.com acting as W9GT

Post by ac9hp »

Call sign did not match email call sign or QRZ.

So I emailed claimed call sign.



Email thread:

That was definitely not me and I am concerned that someone is fraudulently using my call to identify themselves. This should also be reported to QTH.com or wherever your ad or correspondence appeared. Thank you very much for alerting me to this and I wish you the best with your transactions. I guess we all need to be aware that this stuff goes on and have our guard up.

73, Jack, W9GT

Jack,

The email I am forwarding is from someone claiming to have your call sign but emailing from w9wxm call sign email.

Perhaps it is you but I wanted to confirm it before responding any further.

Thanks,

Wayne AC9HP
