KD7UFF........ WHERE ARE YOU
Hey Dan , I've been trying to contact you about the 6 meter beam i purchased from you but every email address you had listed is no longer valid , including the one i sent the paypal payment through . I need to know if you shipped the beam yet. Last week you stated you needed to find a box and that was the last bit of information i have received other than returned emails.
I have emailed you at your yahoo.com email and also your call @arrl as you have listed in another wanted ad and have not heard anything.
Just being a bit cautious since i have not heard anything since the money transaction.
Please contact me at N3QAM@comcast.net
Thanks

Dan , i also see that you have another ad up looking for an icom radio . So you are still lurking around here on the boards . Just so you know , i have filed a complaint with paypal. i sent you the money on 9 April and here it is on the 17th and have no antenna , nor have you responded to any of my emails since you received my money .
I gave you the 3% that you requested for the loss of the paypal transaction plus additional money to round it UP to an even amount . I think i was more than fair and generous . Now you just simply pi$$ed me off and want my money back . I gave you the benefit of the doubt and all but there is no excuse for this .

lol , well had that be true , there would not be able to be an exchange of packets for his pc to send and receive data to send the DNS request to load the web page and then receive the data to display it on his screen .
I do appreciate the attempt to lighten the mood a bit , but this must be another one of those prime examples as to why in the wild , some animals selectively eat their young

He openly admits having problems finding a shipping box and wants you to pay his Paypal fee!?! What a loser...
Get your Paypal refund, be done with him, and try again.
Now if one of the nurses could just wheel him down to the hospital's receiving dock he might be able to snatch just the perfect box to mail that antenna in and save the day... but I bet not.

it wasnt so much as having problems finding a box , he made mention of needing a box. My suggestion was using a tube , since there would be less corners for the shipping people dent and destroy, but that was the last i heard.
Now one would think that you would have a box ready to go if you knew you were going to sell it but there i go thinking again
I filed the complaint with paypal the upgraded it to a claim the following day . I'm not screwing around .
My local ARRL rep heard the story and offered to make some inquiries for me , i guess through his contacts etc etc but i opted to wait to see how my methods go first .
My luck, he withdrew the money from his paypal account already and no longer has his cc or bank account linked , therefor wont get my money back unless he has " buyer protection" Not sure , never had to deal with this type of BS before.

well, i wound up emailing EVERYONE he mentioned in his profiles (clubs and associations) explaining why i am emailing them and asking for their help to contact him , i have one response that gave me his phone number . Maybe peer pressure or just the embarrassment of everyone in his normal routine knowing that he scammed me , may just assist him in doing the right thing .
His excuse to that other person was that his "server crashed and he has not had time to get it up and running"
i call BS

I read his info on QRZ with his call sign and apparently he has had a disabling accident at one time. I'm not defending KD7uff as it all smell's like rip off. But 8 years ago i sold a KW desk mic to a ham and while his money was on the way i had a heart attack and ended up getting 5 bypasses. His money showed up and all my son who came by and checked the mail and house did was just throw the mail in a pile.When i finally got home after 5 day's i still felt weak so did not bother with mail nor any thing else as recovering was all that concerned me. After a few day's at home i started checking my e mail and there it was the gentleman who bought the mic wanting to know if i got the money as he had not heard back from me. Well after going through my mail i found the envelope with the M.O. in it and got it right back out to him. I'm sure he will alway's wonder if i really was sick. So all i'm saying is bad thing's do happen when not expected and in my case i honestly had forgotten all about the sale as at the time recovering was paramount.I hope this is sort of all that has happened in your case but from what i've read it does not look that way......Good Luck ......

Hey Guys:
I have dealt with Dan in the past with no problems. I am not defending him just telling about my personal deal with him. I do know that as you mentioned he is wheel chair bound, and he does or did spend alot of time going back and forth to a childrens hospital with his little girl.
Dan bought one of my Kenwood TS700's off of me and it took a bit of time to straighten things out because he was in Seatle with his daughter.
Hope you can work things out because I don't think or hope Dan would scam a fellow ham.
Cheers Don VE3GNX

I did not mention that as it was not a contributing factor in this situation . I do not think that being disabled or having problems with a child is any excuse to take the money and not send anything . The problem here is that he does not make ANY attempt to contact me back . Bottom line is , if you cant make a deal happen that you made , you should find a way to make contact with that person to let them know whats going on . If you WANT it to happen , you will make it happen . All i get is that his server went down . Ok , How that has an any impact on getting on the web and responding to emails is beyond me . I dont know of anyone who has such a large server setup in their home that it will not allow them to surf the web..... Pick up a damn phone and call someone who can respond to an email or notify me that for what ever reason i cant send you the piece of equipment you purchased .
Im not that much of a pecker that i wouldnt understand an emergency situation . But what the hell , He isnt the only person in this world with problems . Im deploying to Iraq in oct / nov of this year and dont you think i have things that need to be squared away prior to me leaving ??? ...... I can tell you that getting scammed out of $130 bucks is NOT one of them
