I had purchased an Icom w32a from Patrick Starkey last Wednesday, Feb. 16 and paid using paypal for $150.00 He was very responsive prior to the sale but after i paid him, never heard from him again. after numerous emails i sent, still no response and no radio.
I will post this every week in an attempt to reach all ham radio operators so to avoid being scammed by this person.

You know with the majority of hams senior citizens i often wonder how many times some one has paid for a item and then not received it due to hospital or death. I agree that if you pay with pay pal and it looks like your not getting what you paid for that a claim must be filed. If you do get the item you can drop the claim. I know it works and don't tell me only through e bay transactions as mine was from a buy i made here.
