You are responding to the following ad:

Ad Number:	1743477
Date Placed:	09/17/25
Name:	Bob Needleman
Phone Number:	E-MAIL ONLY
Callsign:	K3AC
Category:	MISC
Heading:	Warning to Sellers -How scammers operate
Ad Message:	Warning to all Sellers - if you post something for sale on QTH.com, you will likely be contacted by email by someone offering to purchase this item. He will not give any callsign or offer one if requested. He will say he will send you a cashier's check, pay additional for shipping, or arrange for someone to pick up the item at your residence. This is all a scam and how these crooks operate. The cashier's check will be counterfeit, and if you deposit it, it will bounce and you'll get charged a bad check fee by your bank. If you ship the item, it's gone and you will be SOL - no rig and no money. Just got such a reply and I knew it was a scam as he refused to give me a callsign despite my request for one.

Your Response to this Ad:

Due to the amount of non-ham scammers trying to respond to the ads, I am now asking a simple question that ham operators should easily be able to answer, but scammers may not know the answer: What is the number that hams use to represent the phrase "Best Regards"? This number is typically transmitted by hams at the end of a QSO.
Best Regards:
