Yes Jerry, I suspect that none of this gear exists except for the text
above. This is very likely a scam. The worst part of it is that I
suspect it is being perpetrated by a ham radio operator.


Yup, I don't see why a single ham would have all of this equipment. It
looks like someone just got a list of model numbers from various sites
and put it together, without understanding what they were. That's what
tipped me off and why I started investigating.

I sincerely doubt it is a ham. A ham would have a better idea of what's
being listed. And it didn't take long to find a posting by the REAL
holder of the call sign at 5:30 this morning.

It must be someone very slick too. Looking at their headers an odd feature pops
up. Copy and pasted below, notice the "X-Complaints-To:
" field. I feel the field was edited because the poster
supposedly has giganews as their provider, but complaints aren't directed there
as they should. I checked "www.newsgroupbanter.com" out and it's a new domain
name that the page I got says was just registered, but has no further
information. Interesting. I think an email to giganews might be in order.

Can you, (or anyone else here) confirm that K9CPU is indeed alive and well? An
how was it confirmed? I ask before I submit an email report to Giganews
regarding this post. I looked K9CPU up in QRZ but there is no email address
listed unfortunately, so I can't contact him directly. A Yahoo search didn't
come up with anything helpful either. If this is a scam, it is obviously illegal
and needs to be reported, but if real, I don't want to add to a bad situation.

I couldn't make the determination. However, if you Google for the
email address, or search the various Google groups for the email
address, you'll find the identical message posted to at least 63
newsgroups and facebook pages:
https://www.google.com/search?q=hamk9cpu%40yahoo.com&num=50&filter=0&biw= 1309&bih=857
The call sign has also been used to create logins on various ham
related sites. For example:
http://www.4x4ham.com/showthread.php?3425-Welcome-K9CPU
I think that would be sufficient evidence that it's a scam.

Yes, he was alive when I looked. I checked his license, and found a
post by him on his company's blog about 5:30 that morning. And it was
not like his is a common name.

If you want to know for sure, get his info from the FCC database and
give him a call.

But it won't make any difference if you submit a report to giganews or
not. They don't care.

Thanks Jeff. I just sent the email to Giganews requesting they look into it, and
asking about the link discrepancy.
