QTH.COM Swap Chat

I purchased a Kenwood R-1000 from a guy by who was representing himself as NT6S on QRZ. He is NOT NT6S, but rather a guy by the name of Andrew Mansare. He took me for $220.00, he may take you, too, so be careful if he corresponds with you through QRZ. NT6S is running three ads in QTH right now and his ads are genuine. What happens is you pay for an item through PayPal to NT6S, but, when he claims the funds someone else shows up and receiving the funds. This is what showed up on my PP account: Andrew Mansare, Andrewmansare@gmail.com. How he did that is beyond me, but, he somehow tricked me and PayPal by diverting the funds from one account to another. Apparently this person, Andrew Mansare, makes a living off others. A fraud investigation has been started with PP and Bank of America (my bank). JUST BE CAREFUL, OKAY?

Amazing as this may be, but, PayPal actually refunded my money:
