Purchased a MFJ269pro meter From John Whitmire W4JGW.
He promised to ship the meter to me last Monday (priority mail/insured/tracking) and send me the tracking number.
Its Friday NO Meter. After several emails he sent two bogus tracking numbers that did not show up in the usps tracking site.
Still no valid tracking number, or prof from him he shipped it? And still no package after todays mail.
Claim filled with paypal.
Will also contact proper authorities if not resolved soon.
WATCH OUT FOR W4JGW!!!
W4JGW Watch out!!!! Buyers Beware

USPS tracking numbers
I have never had a USPS tracking number show me anything on tracking. They are useless to even give to anyone because you can't track them. I asked the postmaster about it and even complained and was told they are not able to show tracking but the postal service can track your package with them. What is the point of providining the service if it does not work? I would go a little easy on the guy for that part of it because it is not his fault. I hope your package gets there and bet even after it does you will not show on the usps site that it arrived.
PayPal refunded the $300
Paypal refunded the $300 and closed my claim..
This guy does not pay attention to details. Doesn't read emails all the way thru. Can't address a package.
He claims the meter was returned to him undeliverable address. My address is CONFIRMED on paypal, and I get all my mail to that address.
Glad I used paypal and not a money order, I would of been S.O.L.
He will probably repost the mfj269pro so be carefull!!!! :lol:

Re: W4JGW Buyers Beware- John Whitmire Did It Again !!!!!
WATCH OUT FOR W4JGW - John Whitmire!!
W4FJW did it AGAIN! I ordered an instrument from him and used PayPal to buy it. JOHN WHITMIRE never sent tracking number as propmised and I never did receive the instrument. He will not answer emails or phone calls after removing my purchase price from PayPal. PayPal has done nothing to recover my funds
