IRTS urges Radio Amateurs to be cautious

Information has been passed to the Irish Radio Transmitters Society concerning what appears to be a fraudulent operation involving the sale of Amateur Radio Equipment and which has been conducted through a series of small ads in recent editions of genuine Radio Magazines.

The equipment is being sold using an address in Oxford and another in the Isle of Wight and is generally described as a ‘Silent Key’ or ‘Per pro’ sale.

Payment may be requested direct to an ‘Executor’ as opposed to the actual person advertising and this scam has already cost one of our more trusting Members in excess of 1,500 Euro to date.

Members should therefore be aware of this racket and
anyone who already suffered loss or who should come
into contact with these people are asked to contact
Andy EI4ERB @ QTHR or Mobile 086 2752669.
