Beware of a KPA-500 listed for sale on eHam
« on: March 12, 2023, 09:56:43 AM »


I have no way of confirming the accuracy of the following message I received from "QTH.COM" as a result of my inquiring about a KPA-500 listed for sale on that site.  I note the same piece of equipment/seller is listed here on eHam.net.  Just sharing a bit of potentially useful info.

Hi there.  You recently answered an ad for a KPA-500, by someone pretending to be K7DXW, using an email address of k7dxw@myself.com.  In case it was not obvious, this person is a scammer.

If you follow my Safe Trading Tips, you would have nothing to worry about, as you would have known it was a scam. If you are not aware of our Safe Trading Tips, PLEASE see https://tips.qth.com.

If you are in the middle of some type of transaction with this scammer, you should terminate it immediately.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for using the QTH.com Classifieds!

P.S. No need to reply to this email. Unless you have a specific concern, you can consider the matter closed.
