Use caution in dealing with this individual. Equipment sold has missing parts and not functional. Refuses to make good on the defective equipment sold.

A couple of things I like to see when somebody who does not give a callsign reports a bad transaction.

Callsign or other identifying information.

More transaction details.

Until these requirements are met, I don't take these kind of posts seriously.

Kory, I think you will find others here feel the same.

I see a call sign and I see the issue clearly stated.

What is missing?

I was talking about the Posters callsign. Do unidentified people expect to have their grievance taken seriously?

Joe Blow can come here and make accusations or accolades for anybody, and it means nothing until Joe includes his callsign.

The author posted his full name. That should be enough. Non-licensed users can be cheated by sellers too!

The ones we should worry about are the licensed hams who cover up their identity by using a fictitious nickname instead of their call signs. There are plenty of these!
