Two new ones K9SL and N8RFI

For reports of scammers using other people's callsigns. Remember that any callsigns listed in this forum are likely innocent bystanders (subjects of identity theft) and, thus, are probably not guilty of anything. For bad transactions with verified ham operators, use the Feedback Forum instead.

Two new ones K9SL and N8RFI

Post by W4DFV »

Posted was looking for a good Ameritron 811 or variant and got a couple of emails. Searched call signs and they haven't been active for a few years and every available search database shows no email address for either one. Both emails are ran thru Hotmail. I sent an email to one saying I would pass and within minutes, I got an email from the other asking if I had seen the attached pictures. Information below.

Just had a message from what I believe to be a "fake K9SL" saying he had an NC57 receiver to sell me. This was in response to my WTB ad for this radio. He replied outside the qth.com system. I responded if you are legit, please respond directly through the qth.com system by clicking on "click to contact" at the bottom of my ad. I suspect I'll never hear from him again. -- 73 de Carl N8VZ
