QTH.COM Swap Chat

I recently had an ad for a FT902 on qth.com. A person using the call WA0ELW replied with the usual sketchy
information using the name Harry Wayne and not the one listed on qrz.com.
This persons email is worldtrademedsuppliers01@gmail.com
His IP address is: 71.123.63.154 as reported by qth.com
His phone# is 773-797-2262
I did a search for this phone# and the name returned on http://tel2name.com is
773-797-2262 - Aja Steely, N Cleveland Ave, Chicago, Illinois

He is cagy about revealing his location but the ip address says
State/Region: Pennsylvania
City: Wayne
Latitude: 40.0548 (40° 3′ 17.28″ N)
Longitude: -75.4083 (75° 24′ 29.88″ W)
Area Code: 610
Postal Code: 19087

I don't know for sure but be aware just the same.

Scammers ALWAYS target a callsign in qrz.com which does not have an email address.

Same here.

Have been looking for a Stone Mountain Engineering QSY'er for my ICOM 735 and submitted a Want Ad on QTH.COM and received a reply from a "harry" with Earl's call sign of WA0ELW. Same address in Pennsylvania, etc. No response and, if this is a scam mailing, it looks as if I won't get a response or what I'm looking for.

Same thing here. Posted Ad on QTH foe UT-84 Tone Squelch Unit (hard to find) Harry got right back to me using Earl's call WA0ELW
