Beware of Radio Selling Scammers

Someone else got scammed by a regular scammer, selling an Icom 7300 from an alleged deceased estate in Turners Beach. The scammer took the money and ran, thankfully Bank of Queensland have frozen the bank account, pending further investigation.

The buyer said the seller was very confident on the phone, even sending a photo of his Tasmanian drivers licence indicating he lived in Rocherlea but it expired in 2021.

The seller usually lists the item as deceased estate, says he doesnt know much about it, and has claimed to live in Bicheno, Launceston, Ulverstone and other suburbs, but doesn’t want to meet up in person.

If you are fairly confident its a scam, you can google the bank account bsb number to see what bank it belongs to and contact the bank, they really appreciate the feedback.

Copy and paste photos of the image they supply into google image search, as they steal most images off the web to entice you to buy it, so you can soon see if its fraudulent.
