Claimed to be "a honest hard working ham" and "I am 80 and have stage 3 cancer". Had photos of equipment that did not show up in an image search. Also found he was hopping numbers and using google voice. Be careful out there. This guy is a ham and has knowledge of what he claims to be selling. What a nasty person. Do all hams a favor and die in a fire or something.
Anyway.. hope this keeps someone else from getting took. If your dealing with someone via text give their phone a call. If its google voice its a huge red flag that I didn't pay enough attention to.
