A person by the user name on this site (PASSFINDER) (Real name ...Roger Matlock of Metairie Louisana) and I made a deal to trade metal detectors. My Infinium LS for his DFX. The deal was that we both,to show that we were honest, were to ship on the same day( Feb 1-a FRI.) and email each other the UPS tracking numbers.I fulfilled my end,and to give him the benifit of a doubt,waited another day.I'd called him and emailed him with no answer until the following Sun. He'd emailed me and said that he had car trouble and that he'd ship on Mon.I waited until 6 PM that nite and when no reply was gotten ...again I'd emailed him stating that it was imparitive that I get the tracking number by 9 PM that nite.I'd not received any answer!!!! I then proceeded to call UPS and have a Stop Shipment and return the package to me. Which they did. It's due to get back to me on the 11 th.It cost me $22.00 to ship..I don't know, but I'd expect it'd cost the same to get it back. So now I'll be out $44.00 in this fiasco.He did call me and explain that he wasn't trying to rip me off...that between car trouble and the roads being blocked because of Mardi Gras..he couldnt't get it off...I'd then told him I'd stopped shipment and to have a nice life.I'm a trusting person but this has left a very bitter taste for dealing in trades.I really don't know for SURE if he was going to rip me off,but every bone in me said to STOP SHIPMENT!!! I just wanted to let you people know. OH, and if you're reading this Roger... I kept all the emails and recordings of your phone calls.

shame on you passfinder..I am very disappointed...We talked alot in messages...if this is true you owe this man an apology! I know how he feels....you should also return his shipping costs ...I believe you are here under the name finder07...please explain yourself to this man...
OK, I got snookered too.
Passfinder is NOT good for his word.
jachuck, sry you got hurt. Glad to hear it wasn't worse.
Roger Matlock of metairie la aka whiteknight4969@? oops, can remember offhand...
maybe I'll dig it out of my sent messages...
by golly, possibility exists he's guilty of wire fraud!
If someone needs to pursue the matter before someone else REALLY gets hurt, that might just shut him right down!
