To Whom It May Concern:

There is ongoing fraud facilitated
by PayPal through their "Send
money to friends and family"
option.

As stated on their website and
below:

https://www.paypal.com/businessexp
/sendmoney/friends

"Send money to anyone with an
email address or mobile number and
it will go to their PayPal
account. If they don’t have an
account, they can create one
instantly, for free."

I personally know of three online
swap shops that I use, eHam.com,
QRZ.com and QTH.com, that are are
targeted by fraudulent sellers
offering radio equipment in reply
to "wanted" posts.

The perpetrator contacts the buyer
stating they have the wanted
item(s) and instructs the buyer to
use the PayPal "friends and
family" option to send payment.
Unbeknownst to the the buyer there
is no recourse through the PayPal
"Purchase Protection" or their so
called security they label as
"Your personal Fort Knox"

see
(https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mp
p/paypal-safety-and-security).

Many of the fraudulent
transactions involve the use of
similar email addresses.
eHam.com, QRZ.com and QTH.com is
primarily used by amateur radio
operators, also know as hams.
Amateur radio operators have an
FCC issued call sign. A recent
example of fraud was posted on
eHam involving the stolen call
sign K7WR with an email address of
k7wrwayne@gmail.com. The
perpetrator uses the stolen call
sign plus the name of the licensee
@ gmail.com. There have been at
least 20 reports on eHam alone in
the month of January 2016. I
presume the actual number of
fraudulent transactions has been
grossly under reported.

At the minimum PayPal should post
a clear message in large type on
their "Send money to friends and
family" that when actually buying
goods the sender most likely will
lose their money and have no
recourse with PayPal, their bank
or credit card company in the
event that the transaction turns
out to be fraudulent.

Furthermore I suggest their
labeling of their "security" as
"Your personal Fort Knox" is
false and deceptive which leads
their customers into a false sense
of security. Any multi-billion
dollar company in the 21st century
can protect their customers in a
far better way. As far as I am
concerned there is no valid
excuse.

Solution:

1) Post warnings in large type on
the PayPal website about how to
avoid fraud including but not
limited to money transfers.

Specifically: POST A WARNING IN
LARGE TYPE THAT STATES WHEN PAYING
FOR GOODS AND SERVICES BUT USING
THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY OPTION THE
PAYOR HAS NO RECOURSE WITH PAYPAL,
THEIR BANK OR CREDIT CARD COMPANY.

2) Have PayPal reimburse victims
who were defrauded.

3) Increase PayPal security
including monitoring known centers
of fraud such as Nigeria and IP
addresses known for fraud.

4) Have PayPal contact any and all
customers who used money transfer
or payment for goods or services
to any individual or entity that
has been found to be fraudulent
and request that customer to
notify PayPal if they had been a
victim of fraud.

Another scammer

This is same dirtbag that has used other
calls... This time he's using W1VZ. Makes
the same typos I've seen him use before.
Emailed me again from an old WTB post.
Only accepts PayPal and certain things
don't match with QRZ. I offered to send him
a cashiers check to his home (to get his
address), but of course, he refused.

I was contacted today by two people offering to sell me a CW filter I had posted a want for. w1cfojr@gmail.com and briann7vgd@gmail.com. I checked QRZ data and found email address for w1cfo. Checking with him found that he has had several queries about items and that the guys are indeed scammers.

ID Theft of real N7VGD by Nigerian
scum. See below.

Hello I have for sale Tokyo Hy
Power HL 1.5 KFX Amp & HC -1500
AT. A great combination that can
provide fully automatic
operation.Both units were
purchased new from HRO in November
of 2013 and have been used
flawlessly in a non smoking shack.
Original boxes, manuals and cables
are included. Prefer to sell as a
set and the price is for both
units. $3500.00, but if you want
only HC -1500 AT will sell that
for $1050 if still interested let
me know

THANKS BRIAN
N7VGD & 73

WHEN YOU WANT TO BUY DO NOT FALL
FOR THE SCUM BAG'S EMAILS FROM
ANYONE WITH THE NAME AND CALLSIGN
@ GMAIL . THEY ARE FRAUD. THEY
WILL ASK YOU TO SEND THE PAYMENT
USING FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THEY
ARE IN NIGERIA AND YOU WILL NEVER
SEE YOUR MONEY AGAIN.

If you have time then take up
their time to play them like a
fiddle. Then in the end give them
a graphic expression of what they
are.

Thanks, 73, Roger N7YV

PS I like to put all their email
addresses on a group email list
then when I feel like it I send
them some choice thoughts. Email
me for some examples that have
gotten them riled.

Someone is impersonating WX9C.

Had an unsolicited email from timwx9c@gmail.com .... claimed unit was 3 months old....produced pics originally posted in the forum here from 2010, and another from a current ebay auction.

Then asked for payment to a different paypal address (Wx9ctimothy@gmail.com) via "friends and family".

Another wanted to Buy scam. I was contacted by a person representing himself as KC9CJ Robert Hugi his email is kc9cjrobert@gmail.com .
Saying he had a item that I had posted as wanting to buy. He had me send a paypal payment via family or friends to johnsonw2ft@aol.com .

I never received the item and am out the money, just glad it was for a small amount. I should have known better, my mistake.

BUYER BEWARE! Never send money by PayPal family or friends.
I did file a complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center. It most likely won't do any good but we must try and stop these scammers.

Be very careful and be smarter than I was.
