Same scam as Joe Robin. It must be nice to have a private shipping company that can pick up a radio anywhere before they ask where it really is. People beware.

Joe Robin

Guys - I have been watching all this about Joe Robin over the last few months. Look at the source of his email - you can figure out his QTH from there. If you contact his provider with proof - he'll loose his account. Thanks one and ALL for the heads up about this guy! Sooner or later someone will get his card!

SCAM

I recently placed an adv on e ham for a Steppir coil assembly and received the following response from a Joe Robin email joerbn@googlemail.com. No call was listed and by the wording of the questions, I looks to me that he dose not really know much about what he is trying to purchase from me. It also appears to be a 2nd party transaction for another person. His language also appears to be European and poor use of English. When I requested his call, address, and phone number and also that of the 2nd party, he did not response. He may be a valid purchaser and a ham, but it appears doubtful to me. PLEASE put out the word on your site that this person (he may be using other names as well) is trying to make this type of purchase.    Joe Robin wrote:        Hello         Am interested in buying your (Steppir Big IR 80/60 M loading        coil NIB ) So I want you to explain the condition, and I will        need the picture of it, also mail me your last price, and just        to let you know that I will be paying with (Money Order) ok.

This guy is too stupid to change his name after becoming almost famous as a crook. Tried to hit me with a phony money order for an antenna I have for sale. Nice try Joe, or whatever your name is...You need to get a job

N/A

Same text, different name: Hello Jerry Abrams, Thanks for your mail i want you to know that the price $90 is okay with me. In respect of payment i have a client in the U.S who owes me $2200. All i need to do to make payment easier and faster is to instruct him to issue a cashier check and mail it to you on the address and name you want on the check and you know it takes 24hrs for a cashiers check to clear in the U.S. But i would want to know if i can trust you to send my balance to me via western union or money gram after the money must have cleared in your bank to enable me prepay the shipping company here so that they can instruct their office in the U.S to come for the pick-up from your location. Please mail me asap to enable me arrange payment. Furnish me with your name and address, so i will forward it to my client for payment. With respect, Leonardo Smith.

Probable U.K. scammer

Response to my ad looking for 50 feet of 5 conductor flat rotor cable. Totally phishy! Notice the space left in between the words "have" and "available". It's a standard *form letter* for scamming victims! The combination of a full-name introduction, the extra space (described above), a Yahoo e-mail address, and a U.K. location when all combined are RED FLAG indications that it's guaranteed to be a scam. -KR4WM Hi, Am Kelvin Morgan from the UK.I saw your wanted ADS on the internet and i want to let you know i still have available.Please get back to me if still interested.Please contact me via My email address on kelvin.morgan68@yahoo.com or call me on +447031968879.
