Warning!!!! One of the pictures you will be exposed to is rather disturbing. (But nothing you wouldn't see on the 10PM News)

I read this and found it extremely hard to believe. But it is TRUE! It is also very sad, but true.

"This is not just fraud, its culpable involvement in negligent homicide..."

"That’s what junk science does. Its not simply a bit of harmless new age hippy nonsense, as some suppose, it kills people and it does so unnecessarily and without any thought for the consequences.

This is one junk science fraud where action needs to be taken, and taken now before any more people die as a result of British companies selling dowsing rods as so-called explosives detectors."

Very interesting ... and frightening.

Dowsing, ouija boards, table tipping, etc., can be harmless fun if performed in the right context, but knowingly selling fraudulent devices for explosive detection is a serious crime.

that's why there are so many soldiers killed

It is my understanding that the Iraqi forces bought these things, and are trying to use them; with severe consequences. But the American General in charge of the US troops have warned them that what they are doing is pure foolishness, and will only result in more deaths.

It is really too bad this British company is taking advantage of the Iraqis like this, and apparently they are getting away with it. A small group of individuals are getting rich over this scam, while others are being killed and injured.

It's one thing to make these things in your garage, or basement, and take money from the Mike's and the Art's of this world; but it is quite another thing to sell them to people who are at risk of losing their lives while using these worthless contraptions.

Maybe difference is not so much.

If Mike sell his last property to buy mineoro crappy box, to find Big Treasure and entry big Richiness, he is dead man, no matter still allive.

Here is a suggestion.

Stage 1 write to the distributors of LRLs, those that also sell metal detectors and ask them to stop selling these devices. Give them a couple of weeks to reply then forward details of all current supplies of LRLs to all the detecting forums through out the world encourage people to boycott these companies. Impacting the bottom line soon changes thinking.

Stage 2 go public in newspapers radio television and put the manufactures out of business.

Both sellers and buyers are guilty.Spending such outrageous amounts of public money for device that have never been proven to work is a crime.
I don´t have any illusion about the issues of eventual criminal pursuits:A few hundred thousands dollars, some hookers or a new car in someone pocket will resolve the problem.

Somehow, I think the sellers and the officials who did the buying were not the same people who were given these bomb detectors to use in the field. The officials who bought them can get rich too.

Hi KT315,

I do not know where you've got the idea that Ivconic is an LRL scammer.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Like many other members here, he has investigated whether LRLs really work or not, and concluded that they do not work. He is a skeptic not an LRL proponent. Perhaps you think that Carl is an LRL proponent because he has so many in his collection?

We all know who are the LRL believers here on Geotech ... and Ivconic is not one of them.
