![]() The amount was under $1000 (but close)
Paid with paypal, no paypal insurance. The person had a decent feedback rating so I didn't bother with the insurance. He's had the payment for nearly 3 weeks and doesn't respond to email. I know he's received the emails because I threw an image in the last email sent to him & his access was logged ![]() I know: -- his name -- his valid home address -- his telephone number -- his internet provider -- his IP. -- His wife or ex-wifes name. What are my options? |

Call the police station in his home town and file a report. I believe you can also file a report on the fbi site. You can also contact ebay, they used have a fraud clause where they give you up to $250. Also, make sure to fill out a bad report on him scamming you in the feedback.

Best of luck. I really hope you get your money back. I know how irritating it can be when you think that you are getting something, but then find out you've been cheated. Good luck dude!

I don't think the cops will help, it's not a criminal matter. You should consult a lawyer and send off a legal letter to his address stating your intention to pusue the matter by civil recovery. That normally does the trick.
Legally he has just not completed his part of the contract, he has technically not stolen from you. |

Actually, the cops will help. They helped to get my money back when I was scammed. Also, they helped shut that guy down. Another friend of mine was able to get his money back by telling the person who scammed him that if he didn't have the money back in a couple hours that he was contacting the police in his home town and listed the name of the detective that was from his area. Also, threated to contact the postmaster general, fbi, ebay, and every other place possible. The guy sent his money back... My friend still contacted all of those places... Turns out that the scammer had been selling bogus concert tickets and soccer tickets.

Legally I could ask a few bikers in his home town to drive their choppers up to his doorstep at 3am & ask him what the fucking problem is. That's a bit of a pain in the ass for this amount though. Maybe just a couple choppers. ![]() |

Just incase there is any confusion let me explain.
If someone breaks into your property or steals your wallet, that is theft, it's a criminal offence and the police will arrest etc.. If you want to buy or sell something and enter into a verbal or written contract with somebody and one party does not follow that through it's not theft. There could be many reasons why they could not complete their side of the contract and it's up to the civil courts to decide what action to take. |

Legal to call his & his wifes family members trying to 'track him down' and make sure nothing has happend to him (reciting the failed transaction to everyone as I go of course) ??
![]() If he would have responded after seeing the email (which I know he saw because of the logs) -- then I wouldn't be being so aggressive about this. But it's been nearly a month & I haven't gotten one reply from this guy over several emails. |

What is his info? We'll help tag team him. Maybe he lives near one of us and we can take a picture of his house to scare him.

the police will help. the fbi does have a form to fill out to report internet fraud. i've been there, done that and succeeded in getting my money back. next time, think a little before you pretend to run your mouth about things you know nothing about. gobigtime, i'd suggest calling him first and discussing the matter with him. leave him a message if he's not home. advise him that if the merchandise isn't shipped within X amount of days with a tracking number as proof, you will exploit all your available options, including a paypal chargeback, an ebay fraud complaint, a call to his police department and a fraud report with the fbi. tell his machine if he isn't home. most people will cough up the merchandise right away and give you a tracking number, or they'll refund you. if they don't, then exploit your options, one by one. start with the ones that have the least possible consequences to you (ie: contacting his police department)

find another auction he is running and email him from a hotmail/yahoo account and ask about the item. Like ship time, costs etc. Then ask for a phone # and you want to call him to chat before you bid.
Then call and chew his ass out. |

Thanks for the offer Joseph.. I'll definitely keep it in mind. ![]() I'm going to give the guy one more shot via email & 24 hours to reply now that I know he's getting the emails. I would still rather have the item at this point - but my patience is wearing very thin. |

a creditor can call you at work about a debt if you've provided the creditor with your work phone number. in a case like this, he is not a creditor. he is simply a buyer who is being frauded by a seller. gobigtime, calling his family, relatives, etc. is sketchy grounds. he could technically call it harassment and press charges, although he'd have little to go on, especially if you're polite during the call. if you call from a payphone, he'd also have trouble proving it was you.

the seller listed an auction, he was paid, and he failed to deliver the goods. that is fraud. i've been in gobigtime's shoes many times. i've filed police reports and fbi internet fraud reports and i've received refunds or my goods 9 times out of 10. i know what i'm talking about.

Yes my location say's UK, that's why I said I didn't know about contacting his regarding the matter, I said it would depend on local laws.
I wanted to warn this person that there are often laws resricting the rights of somebody chasing a dept. The US legal system varies so much from state to state I hardly think there's a huge difference between Criminal and Civil law between the US and UK. It's simple you entered into a contract and the other person failed to honour that contract. There is nothing to lead anyone to presume at this stage that fraud has been commited. |
