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.
