Re: EA2AU responding to wanted ad's
Are you sure that this is the real EA2AU, and not some scammer that's spoofing his call as part of the scam?K4TEC wrote:This is just a heads up for Members of the QTH community to help you not get scammed.

I figured as much, but it wasn't clear from the original post.K4TEC wrote:Thats my point !!!
It is a scammer pretending to be EA2AU
all I am doing is alerting the buying Ham community of this action.

May I kindly suggest to anyone making a post of this sort in the future, that they clearly indicate if the issue is with the actual amateur, or with a scammer (known or suspected) who has hijacked an email address and is using the amateur's identity as a smoke screen?
I know I'd be upset if there were an implication that I'd pulled a stunt like this when it was someone pretending to be me!
ea2au Hijacked Call !
I tried to contact the ham who's call has been hijacked,I spent a couple of hours to track his email which he has 2 that were no good,I tried even to get his phone number to no avail,So its not like there was no effort involved to alert this fellow that someone is trying to S T E A L from others using his call Sign,I thought it best to put out a alert first ,Only because this scammer is GOOD at what he is doing !!
