Dale Graham in Ohio. Scam artist?

Post by Brian »

I recently contacted Dale Graham who lives in Perryburg, Ohio. Graham had listed a VX-7R for $200.00 . I contacted Graham who agreed to the $200.00 plus $10.00 for shipping to my residence in Nevada. I sent the money order the following day (12/19-2007). I have never heard from Graham since. The telephone number that I called him at initially rings, but immediately goes to voicemail. I have left in excess of 20 messages on the voicemail. I hope that Graham is going to send the radio, but I think I probably was screwed of out $210.00 . Just a beware to anyone who is looking to buy from DALE GRAHAM IN PERRYSBURG, OHIO.

It appears Dale, KC8STP, is affliated with the trucking industry. He may just be on 'a run'.

His website portrays him as an upstanding amateur radio op.

In my experience, if you can locate a well kept website on an amateur radio operator, one with many current projects, the chance of him/her scamming anyone deminishes. There must be another reason for the non- delivery or returned phone calls.
