Re: Scammer using my call and name
I also received an email and phone call from someone claiming to be Allen KL7AM. Offered to send check for item I had posted. Then asked if he could call me to talk. He did, but the phone # showed from New York and Allen is from Alaska. Also, his accent did not fit Allen's photo. Beware !!!
