WARNING: Please note that the ads placed by "KG2DC" today have a different email address than his previous posts. Current ads include a AL-80B and a TS-450. These ads have a email address that is based in Indonesia. opera-mini.net is an email server that is often used by scammers and is not the same address used by KG2DC in all of his previous ads. Also if you look at his shack picture in QRZ you might notice that there is no AL-80B or TS-450 in there! If I'm wrong I apologize, but I Don't Think So!! If it sounds too good to be true it usually is! Follow up is welcomed. I got scammed a couple of weeks ago and this looks like the same M.O.
Thanks,

My WANTED HF AMP FOR BOY SCOUT STATION. KG2DC responded with an offer, but gave me a Yahoo account that didn't match his name. PayPal advised the account provided did not exist. There are a number of other posting by KG2DC. Is it confirmed he is a scammer?

Hi I am KG2DC,
Apparently someone is using my call to scam.
N.B. I only use my address in QRZ and will usually post my phone # 631-901-5375
If this is not the case IT IS a Scam
sincerely
