Yesterday's Dr. Phil featured a woman who was bilked of $265k (see: http://www.drphil.com/shows/show/2163). I know my email is taking us a bit off topic but I believe it is worth watching the vidio, if only for our education concerning the insidious persistence in which the man pursued her.

These clowns have discovered ham radio, unfortunately. Be very cautious on the Internet. Trust no one and thoroughly vet your seller before sending money. I am seeing more and more of this stuff on eham. I manage the classifieds there. I had a recent case where a ham had his qrz account compromised because of an email that linked to a fake qrz page where he then logged in. What made this incident different from the tens of others I deal with on a monthly basis was that he apparently used the same password at the FCC. The scammer changed his address with the FCC to one used by a third party to receive a cashiers check. Scammer posted an ad on eham using same password and scammed a guy out of a grand for a non existent amplifier. Victim was asked to make check out to a third party name. The Internet is a nasty sewer full of scammers. 73 de na6m On Feb 5, 2014, at 20:13, "Bill Ross" <[email protected]> wrote: > Just a heads up to all on the list, someone is posing as me, William H.
