KD0UYD - paypal scam
Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2014 4:07 am
I was looking to purchase a Microham unit. This guy replied and said he was KD0UYD. I was very suspicious as his grammar was poor and his email was different than the email shown on QRZ.com
ALWAYS check the QRZ.com email address as a simple way to verify identity.
I asked him for a photo of the unit. He sent a picture found on Google Images. (yeah right)
Then he said I should send him payment via Paypal. So I asked what his paypal email address was.
Here is the email address he is using: ryankd0uyd@outlook.com
Here is the paypal address he wanted to use: bernim.61@outlook.com
I also contacted the real KD0UYD... he confirmed that there has been someone trying to use his call to scam folks.
Watch out for this guy!
