KB1LBF replied to an ad I had for a scanner, I am in Oregon, he is on the East Coast. I got the phone call,(MY number was not listed) he caled at, get this 3 AM my time, I answered he just said I want your scanner, and you are going to sell it to me- I told him I did not want him to call me again, and he told me it was past 6 there and why wasnt I awake- I just told him use email or not at all, and hung up- He kept calling me every night for maybe a week and when I finally answered, he just said he wanted my scanner, and not for the listed price either.It gets better-I told him, no I wont lower the price that low,which was less than 50% of the price I was asking.He said you arent gonna sell it,I hung up he called until I answered, I tried unplugging the phone,but he was persistent. He hasd a thing about 800 mhz stuff, told me he could hgear all sorta stuff-??I finally relented, and told him to send the money order with money for postage since he insisterd on UPS-Money order got here, sans shipping money-The amount was what he told me he would pay for it- I told him on the phone I was going to send the money back sinbce he wasn't keeping his word, the guy just told me he would tell everyone a lot of bad stuff:(
I had little choice, and I just wanted him out of my life,period!!!I just sent it postal, as I didn't have monery to lose and give in, I called and said I senty it out ,not ups, he called everyone here locally on the phone he could,and told them I was a crook:( He made the mistake of calling my friends, some of whom are in the ham club I am VP of. The president called me up and appraised me he had heasrd this from many people, BTW,he clzaimed he was too poor to buy it from me as listed:(He did however, have money to burn on long distance calls here during the day.He even called up the HRO store,they told me he was nuts(Their words,not mine:) ) I immediately wrote him email demanding he cease and desist,Or I would get a lawyer-the jerk called up my ISP and said I threatened me, 6his after dozens of calls and threatening emails,BTW,I don't do that, it is my 78 yr old fathers account,not mine! I finally had top have an attorney ham friend call him up and let him know he better stop.He did,but wrote me recently trying to trade me a GREAT Pyram,id 36 amp supply, he is someone to avoid at all costs,take my word for it- He is the kind of guy who will stalk you, yes that is what he did basically, and if he wants something you have, the story I related is his basic Modus Opperandus,I am disabled, I have problems sometimes,as I am also the oldest and have to help my father as well. This guy is defintely out there, where I dson't know and don't care to know, I should have dropped a line to Scott when he contacted me regarding his junk power supply-He was not supposed to have,buthe did:( Beware of this guy,he is a bad egg, not a good ham!If I get any threats from him regarding my opinion, well, he left a lasting impression out here in oregon,he should stop trying to beat the good folks on here out of stuff, all he has is junk anyway-One last word
:This person is attracted to scanners,especially ones thaty can pick up cell phones,so ?if you get a response from him, run away
like you know what !!
