Facebook Is FULL Of Scams. Beware. This Was The Winning Lottery Ticket! Had I not had a dentist appointment this morning (my dentist is a ham too, btw), I would not have been in College Station, and I probably would not have driven out there to check these radios out for a friend. He’s been scouring Facebook Marketplace for a radio. It is absolutely filled with nothing but scammers. 7300’s for $500? Yeah, right. What’s the catch? He’d send me screen shot after screen shot of deals that were too good to be true. And they were. But then he finds this. A lot of ham radios with an asking price of $500 for everything. I’m like, I’ll check em out but you need to get ahold of this guy and ask some questions, get his number, address, etc. So he does. Sends me the phone number, I call the guy and it’s an actual person with these radios. I ask a few questions, notably the most important one, do they work. "Well, last time I used them a few months ago they did". How many times have you heard that? So we agree for me to stop by after my 8am dentist appointment. He’s there, he’s got the radios and he wants to get rid of them. That’s exactly what he did. I’ll let the video explain the rest of the story…
