Post by ei3gc »

Hi Just heads up on a scammer. I was looking for a DMR set up and
agreed Purchase and delivery to DC for 200 0Dollars (188.00 Euros)

Wa4JYI replied to my add using this email armstrongwomta@gmail.com

Name Milton its on QRZ also and The scammer sent me a picture of the unit.

I paid via Paypal to johnroger364773@gmail.com The scammer
told me it was th PP account of his brother in law as he had not got PP account,

johnroger364773@gmail.com


Then after a lot of emailing chasing he replied this time looking for a further 100 Dollars
to post the DMR TGIF spot Modem to DC

Thats when I sure he had scammed me
Anyway it was only 200 not the end of the world
and what goes around comes around
