[Elecraft] Yet another scam

[KQ8M]

Charles, 
I have one problem with a statement here. QRZ.com is NOT an official
callbook. Only those that sign up or others who have signed up for someone
else are listed. Also, emails change and may not be updated. Basing
someone's credibility on QRZ.com is not a good thing.

 73,
Tim, KQ8M

Very first thing to do is look up the call on QRZ.COM.
IF there is no email address listed, consider that a yuge RED FLAG, since
the perps look for people who do NOT list their email on QRZ.
Then they apply for a new email with Joe.Blow.W1XXX@ freebie email .com,
such as Hotmail, Gmail etc.

They then open a Pay-Pal account using the fraudulent email address and
accept payment until thing get a little warm, then they go back to QRZ.COM
for a new sucker.

Ryle-of-thumb.....Always list your email address on QRZ.  It's no more
secure than  your first name, so don't worry if someone knows.

Also, always look up the seller's call and verify that their listed email
address IS in fact the one you're using for a pay--pal account to send
money.
