update
this guy has a different name every day, and a new angle every day. look out for a seller that agrees to everything you ask for then wants your personal guarantee that you will western union him a deposit, then send him the balance after you receive the item.
Paul here is to show others about what you band G4OXD are talking about including my notice. Readers take note how he even uses the real G4OXD's real name on his e mail.By the way if you all CK G4OXD's on qrz you will notice he has a alternate call which is how i trapped the scammer....

Re: new scam ! lookout
The scammer contacted me direct. I say he has some front as he replied to my advert about some gear on the 10th October in which I replied.1 month later 7th November he sent me a Email to buy the equipment.He should have asked is it still for sale.Then he went on to say he was not happy about the quality of the pictures strange this as they were hi quality nothing wrong with them.Then the dead give away he asked me for my second amatuer radio call sign.Bells ringing by this time.He said he could come & pick the gear up which cost only £150 from my home note not QTH.Which I thought was not very cost effective coming from Spain to the U.K. Then the Email name & address gave it away on the scammers Emails to the USA he used "CAMBLAMBERTROSE"w8jn wrote:Scott has done a terrific job of filtering out the nigerian scammers.
