Today I received a reply to my ad looking for a Palstar LA-1K from someone claiming to be Richard A. Bradley KO4NMY.
Fortunately I was able to contact the real KO4NMY because he happened to be running an ad here on QTH. ( he did not have his email address on QRZ).
**** Everyone needs to have their email address on their QRZ profile to discourage this from happening. ****
