A quick google search has shown at least three other hams who have been ripped off by KG4QLR. I stopped on page two of the search.

Check out his profile photo on QRZ.com and if the radio in question is shown in the photo (which was updated June 1st) then definitely save the image to your computer, for possible future reference.

He does not look like a crook. Then again Casey Anthony (according to the jury) does not look like a murderer. Go figure.

I always love people who come on this forum and cry about being ripped off. Evidently the buyer DID NOT do his research prior to engaging in a transaction with the seller.wp3bc wrote:I do some research and this guy have a extensive criminal record,is been convicted for 0646-TELEPHONE/UNLAWFUL USE OF TELEPHONE
0079-BURGLARY-1ST DEGREE
0480-LARCENY/PETIT OR SIMPLE LARCENY
in other words i loose my money,but im pretty sure he will go to jail i will guaranty that!!!
Only after the fact does the buyer do any credible research...only to discover the seller is a crook.
Then when the buyer realizes they have been had they want to come to this forum and cry...sorry...too late. You should have done your homework BEFORE you engaged in a seller/buyer relationship with said individual.
No sympathy here...perhaps in the future you will take the time to better prepare.

I have sympathy for you Michael. Anytime a fellow ham gets ripped off from another fellow ham it makes me sick. I am sorry you have to go through this. Do not loose faith in your fellow ham.

Actually, the charges against styles listed above were dismissed
BUT.....
Ronald Styles WAS convicted of EIGHT Forgery charges, was sentenced
to three years, suspended sentence to 30 days in jail and 3 years probation.
He is currently out on Bond for two NEW Forgery charges..

Go there and type in his last and first name seperately to get the records.
He has scammed several hams who have gotten together and notified the local authorities and the Postal Service. The local police department
is investigating him. A detective has been assigned to the case.
He is going down for these scams, folks
