I thought I would warn people of a scammer on a Face Book "Motorola 
Radio Exchange & Expertise" Group. This guy usually offers high end 
Motorola APX radios but has posted some Quantar and other repeater 
equipment for sale. The seller is "Randolph J Marczan" and he uses 
Venmo, Zello or a Paypal account out of Mexico to steal money. Then he 
gets random positive feedback posts where someone posts pictures of $5k 
to $30k worth of APX radios they claim to have just purchased from 
Marczan and tell how the purchase was smooth. All the positive posts 
sound the same and nearly all the accounts are new with little info given.
It also appears the admins or moderators of that group are corrupt as 
any negative posts about Marczan or people saying they have been ripped 
off get quickly removed. I complained to one of the group admins and my 
posting rights were taken away.
There are pictures on the Facebook page for Randolph J Marczan including 
a ham station and vehicle (with plates blacked out) with a mobile ham 
setup but with little other info on the FB page. I searched FCC records 
and there is nobody with the last name of Marczan with an amateur radio 
license in the US. The scammer Marczan tells people he is in North 
Carolina but there is another FB account of a Randy Marczan that has a 
few of the same pictures and appears to be the same person but in West 
Nyack, NY and there is verifiable info on real estate and other things 
on that guy.
Anyway, Marczan got me for $250 and a few others I found for a lot more. 
Hope nobody else falls victim to this scammer.
