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. 73, Charlie k3ICH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
