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.
