At the Last meeting we had a discussion regarding? the demise of Yahoo Groups and moving to Facebook versus groups.io. I mentioned my friend Dave W9WRL's problem with his very active
"Ham Radio Buy & Sell" group on Facebook. Here is the latest:
?
***ATTENTION
This is Dave W9WRL. I am the ONLY real admin of this group. On Oct 24th this group was HACKED and over run by a bunch of ASSHOLES. I think from North Korea. I advise you to LEAVE this group. They can not hurt you or scam you unless you stay in this group. I am working with Facebook to get back full control. But even if I do this group is finished. We just have to many fake accounts in here to make it safe again. So please LEAVE THE GROUP NOW! 73 Dave W9WRL.
So you know - pretty much any Ham Radio Buy & Sell has reverted back to Ebay (5-10% fee) or QRZ.com (free postings) However QRZ requires a 2 step verification prior to posting anything. AND a picture of the item with your call sign in the picture.?
