Ad Number:	1748672
Date Placed:	11/06/25
Name:	Jim
Phone Number:	email only
Callsign:	WB7RBN
Category:	ANNOUNCE
Heading:	"Scammer Alert"
Ad Message:	Here is the latest what scammers are doing that happen to me so be aware. I got two different emails saying that they had the same item I have advertised on QTH.com for sale and did I want to buy it. The emails were from different Gmail accounts. Both had email addresses slightly different from the associated amateur radio call. One even had an “O” in it rather than a “0” which showed it was from a scammer and not the actual ham. So now why are they doing this? It’s to get you to respond and verify that your email address is valid. That way they can slightly alter it along with your call to scam hams either out of their equipment or money. Unfortunately, I responded to one of the emails telling the person I had the item for sale not wanting to purchase it. So be careful. Since it is very easy to get a Gmail account that’s why scammers use Gmail. A lot hams sell equipment on QTH.com so verify any email address that responds to your ad. Dr. James M. Seay, PhD WB7RBN

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:
