Listing #1108363

Post by bjgiacobello »

I am not absolutely certain, but I believe that this listing may be a scam. The seller is selling a KX3 and accessories.

The seller requests payment via a bank funds transfer, although I have offered to pay via PayPal or personal check. He claims to be disabled.

The call on QRZ shows a QTH of Arkansas City, KS and, when I check the QRZ address for the seller's call, I obtain the phone number appropriate to that address. I have offered to call the seller at the phone number obtained from the Internet, and he has claimed that that number has been hacked and offered me an alternate number which is from Maryland.

Frankly, it's too much to accept as legitimate. I suggest that this listing should be investigated.
