Three scammers using stolen call signs
Posted: Sat Mar 11, 2023 1:56 am
Recently I posted a “Wanted” add for a FTM 400. I’ve since removed the add.
I had three people supposedly posing as a ham having one for sale.
Now, two of the following are supposedly stolen call signs.
#1) N5OLA is out of CA phone # and wanted a MO sent to a Helen krasula
157 West Ridge Road
Jonesborough Tennessee
37656
He uses email address: n5olawilly73@gmail.com,
This person somehow got my phone # and continues to leave messages and text. I’ve returned no phone calls.
I’ve communicated with the REAL N5OLA in south Texas. He has no radio for sale. I’ve shared this info with the real ham.
#2) Is K6LK (supposedly William Mekeel)
Has no email on QRZ but a California address and a mail to address to: (supposedly his daughter)
Marsha T Armstrong
4 Perkins Dr
Prescott, Az 86301. Wanting a Money Order only.
#3) W3NSA (Supposedly Mark Tellez). Wanted Friends and Family. Used this email w3nsatellez@gmail.com and used this as the PayPal address: jonathanedward567@outlook.com. (A Step son?)
These hams are probably not even aware of their call being used and tarnishing their reputations.
Just saying, do your homework homework homework. Only you can protect yourself from folks that do this kind of theft.
