Someone trying to scam using my info (K0LTZ)
« on: March 26, 2023, 12:07:48 PM »

I don't know where to post this, but someone is using my information and trying to "sell" radios. They no doubt don't exist, and he is definitely a FRAUD. Just FYI, and this is on multiple sites.... 73's for now, K0LTZ Frank

Have you told eham, QRZ and QTH webmasters about this?

Sorry to hear that this is happening to you.
However, it has been said many times on forums that Hams who don't include an email contact on their Zed page are most likely to be victims of this scam.
If you had an email listed (even if hidden) , buyers could check it  and see they are being scammed.

I can tell why your call got scammed. You don't have an email address attached to your QRZ.COM profile. Scammers have been hijacking these somewhat abandoned calls for a least dozen years. They can impersonate you because they know that no one will be able to contact the person who owns the call sign.

When you have no email address linked to your call sign, on here or QRZ, you leave yourself wide open to scammers.
