Watch Out for some one posing as VE7NH, Neil

Post by K4TEC »

Now this is a clever one, a much more convincing scam than most

Neil Nutbrown <ve7nh35>

Responded to a wanted listing I have running, wanted me to send over $4500 to PayPal,, and spotted the PayPal address is in Germany.

Now the way he communicated was far more professional than the usual run of the mill scammers, I had to study this one for a while.

So beware of this crook posing as VE7NH, be alert !

I do talk to the real VE7NH in Vancouver every day in qso on 2 metres it can be assured that someone is using his info as fraud.
It makes me wonder what this world is the real VE7NH is a honest and well respected ham in my community. And to whoever is doing this YOU WILL BE CAUGHT.....
