Ads posted here--allegedly by N4KC--are bogus and a scam. I am N4KC and I have never posted an ad on QTH.com.
I have received several emails today from people who smelled a rat when the asking price on a FLEX 5000 was amazingly low. They took the trouble to look up my email address and it didn't match the one used by the "seller." Another person got suspicious when the "seller" asked that money be wired or paid to a PayPal account under a name other than mine.
The folks here at QTH.com responded to my heads-up within minutes. They've blocked any listings under my call, which is fine with me. But if you are corresponding with someone with the email address N4KC.usa.com, be aware that person is stealing your money...and besmirching my call sign!
