I share this crazy deal with y'all....
Some Mort in Indonesia gave us an order for 10K worth of ICOM gear on 4
credit cards.....Air mail to Surabaya or wherever..... We took the card info
but never shipped the stuff..... a few days passed an some lady in Albequerqe (
spelling? ) called me and asked why we nicked her Visa for $2500 - naturally I
appologized and refunded / reversed the deal. Scam-o-rama is alive and well on
the internet!.
I am waiting for my many 3.3 mega buck slices from confidants in the third
world..... oy-vey

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] the scam changes...
Oh... about once every month or so I receive the scam email
requesting radio equipment prices and availability for a
"quick purchase" using a credit card.
Every one of these quick credit card purchases seems to be a
scam...
The funny part is almost every email scam request is for a bulk
purchase of Motorola CP-200 radios... Does the third world only
know of Motorola CP-200 portable radios?
This latest scam email requests not only the CP-200 radio price
and shipping... but now they're gettin' greedy asking for prices
on Thuraya Dual-Mode Satellite/GSM Phones.
Once in a while I reply with a crazy price quote and they fire
back with a list of Visa Cards to charge the purchase toward. I
used to call Visa and tell them about the problem... but the
Visa Card Corporation has their head firmly planted and there is
no easy way to turn in a fake charge report. Master Card seems
to be much better...
So... what's in your wallet?
cheers,
