For the record, I too was apparently a "target" of Mr. John Swisher, KE4CCI in
December 2004/January
2005.
On 12/15/2004 he responded to my posting to sell a #217 filter.
Two days later on 12/17/2004 he sent the following email: "I will send money
order in the morning.
Yes my anti spam is pretty tough, sorry about that. Mailing Address: John
Swisher PO Box 40
Unicoi, Tn 37692".
After 1-week of waiting for the MO to arrive, I received an email on
12/24/2004: "Hey Dave, Hadnt
heard anything just wondering if payment has made it yet". I responded that it
had not arrived and
I continued to update him daily via email as to daily status.
Then on 12/31/2004 he sent me the following: "Hi Dave I resent Money order
today certified mail.
You should have it by Tues according to the local po here. Like I said before I
definitely want the
filter. 73's John"
After 12/31/2004 I did not receive any replies or responses to my daily email
status to him and
finally on 1/11/2005 I sent him the following: "John, Nothing received today.
Frankly, I'm fed up
with this charade and this transaction is terminated, effective immediately.
You have not
acknowledged any of my last updates, and I have conferred with the local
postmaster as to
delivery/transit times for the CERTIFIED mail you stated you sent from your zip
code , and frankly,
something is rotten in Denmark! ".
IMHO the postings here document a 'pattern of deceit', and if anyone is
defrauded by him and
initiates an investigation, I will make my email(s) to/from him available to a
US Government
investigation (USPS, FBI, etc.), upon official request of the investigating
agency.
