Paid for a radio and they had me send to an email which requested funds in Euros, AGAINST better judgement I sent it... And now am going through PayPal to get reimbursed... Big time scam...I knew better but they deal got the best of me.

Posted a WTB ad, and he replied with exactly what I wanted. Supposedly was "Henry Poulei" WH7YA. Even found a photo of the radio that google images couldn't locate. I found it buried in an old for sale add on QRZ.

Wanted payment sent to: Stevenseagalfan.11@gmail.com after his PayPal suddenly "had an issue"

WH7YA has no published email address on qrz.com. Big red flag!

His licensed expired on 2019-12-15. The QRZ account is unmanaged.

Did you pay with goods and services or Friends and Family? The latter offers NO protection whatsoever.
