For reports of scammers using other people's callsigns. Remember that any callsigns listed in this forum are likely innocent bystanders (subjects of identity theft) and, thus, are probably not guilty of anything. For bad transactions with verified ham operators, use the Feedback Forum instead.

FAKE: K7HEK impersonator on FB Marketplace

Post by IGY6 »

I noticed an add on FB Marketplace from someone who has obviously hijacked the actual account for K7HEK.

We had correspondence via Messenger, and it was obvious this person was not a ham and refused me going to pickup
some heavy items. He listed ACOM-2000a, Ameritron ALS-1200 and a variety of other items out of Sandy, Oregon.
Owner with same name is 96 years of age, and I know for a fact, is not him.

Imposter pulled the add and is a "ghost" for the moment, but he pops up from time to time with a different ID. I will keep
the board updated. I am a retired military intelligence analyst, so this is also one of my hobbies. Catching the cheats. Thus my
board name IGY6.

73's,
Mike
