[JMS] Millen Gear Possible Scam

[David Eppert]

Tom,

My first thought is that you asked me how I determined it was a scam when I
did not as I noted I am not sure.  The other is that I explained in my email
and you just asked me to explain.  Try a phone call.

I noted in the email below that "I don't know if it is a scam or not" and
included a detailed explanation for my concerns.

I did mean N5AMA.   The 4 was a typo.

There are many scammers out there so please forgive me if I offended you.

To be legit, I would first confirm that the Address on the FCC website and
the phone number area code is in the same area.  Your QRZ address matches
the FCC address but your email address you are sending from does not match
your QRZ email address and the phone number showing your FCC address on
411.com is disconnected.  I have other concerns but they are just
speculation not fact like what I mentioned.

I would never send money to an address that I cannot verify.

There are many people impersonating people so my concern is genuine and with
good intent.

Again, I am sorry for causing any issues to a legitimate person but I am not
able to confirm your identity and decided to share my concerns before it was
too late.

I am always available by phone.

I'm not sure if you are referring to me or not. I'm not n4ama and I can
assure you the Millen gear that I recently offered Is legit. I would be very
interested in how or who determined this is or was a scam.
The email address is correct and I welcome explanation for this accusation.
