thats what hitmen are for, just advertise on the KY craigslist.

i hope you understand that was of course a joke.

 

That would be the most effective thing too do, but it would cost more money. Haha

Any advice on what would be the best thing to do?

 

Text KGB 542542.

Explain in a few words what happened, and ask what would be a way to fix it.

Sounds stupid, but it can work.

 

I can't put charges on the bill, it's not my phone. I'm considering calling his local police department for advice on the situation, don't know that they would be any help though.

 

Its only like 1 dollar.

Get a friend too.

 

His police department said I should go ahead and report it at my local department as soon as I can get a chance.

 

That sucks. Honestly he did come in the thread and posted. Most scammers wont do that. I hope they show up to both of you. To the guy in canada sometimes **** takes a long time to get through customs and what not. Good luck to both of you. If he isnt a scammer hopefully he shipped them out before this thread.

 

I got scammed 190$ for a front lip a few weeks ago....some guy named Steve kosko from New York...midnight02 was his SS.net name

 

He did offer to post receipts though, and then avoided doing so or provided tracking numbers when confronted. He came into the thread because I gave out his facebook profile (which he has now deleted).

 

Not saying it has been shipped but I traded a turbo mani/dp for a header/dp and the guy got his stuff in a week it took like 30 days for me to get mine and it shipped the same day. Stuff happens.

 

Why would he avoid giving us the tracking that UPS provides with all packages though?

 

WOW...got urselves a conniver-maN. (thats) y i refrain fr buyin **** from ANYone private individual on line. only if ive met the dude b4 and hes (local) ill buy from them. more than 1 way 2 skin a cat, but why not save urself the trouble of chasing the little muhfucker down?

 

nah he most likely set his privacy to lockdown mode where he will NOT show up when led to his profile by link or search. i had to do that cause i had an ex who was trying to find the girl i was hooking up with so she can ruin that relationship.

give the popo's a call asap and tell them the situation. and tell your bank that you never authorized that transaction and that someone must have stolen your information. they should get your money back to you somehow and at the same time give you all new account #s just in case this bastard is more sneaky than we thought with some kind of spyware.

this is why i am highly reluctant to do business with someone that i cant pick up the product from in person or even think about buying something of value from a poster with say 1 post.

 

Give him at least until tomorrow evening to get back on here and post reciepts, tracking numbers, etc. If still no word, then ur pretty much **** outta luck. As shitty as it is, this is the world we live in. Also, as the buyer, it's your resposibility basically to check up on the seller. This is why we have a classifieds member feedback thread. Of course, it doesn't work if nobody ever posts their experiences in it. But in any event, I would PM a mod and at worst, ur out ur money. At best, he comes back with shipping info and you get to find out wtf is going on.

Spamming him on here or facebook also isn't a good idea cuz ur just gonna **** him off even more and he's just gonna disappear.

 

Note the first part of the quote.

 

definately file with your local PD, hopefully someone ther ewill be entertained and track him down, or at least get a hold of his parents . good luck man

 

I was just connected with them, but my call disconnected, I'm about to try again.

 

Now that im thinking about this.. the two guys that got scammed.. have no way to proove anything.
Sure they can get the thread and print it out, but what if the scammer says he did ship them?
Police can just say they dont know who to believe, they cant just take his money without alot of proof.
Paypal gift too, so they cant help. This whole thing stinks.

 

Police said the only thing I could do is take him to small claims or keep figuring out info on my own as it was a personal deal. He said that I could do anything that I wanted as far as contacting him/his parents if I can find the info, but other than talking to the bank or trying to take him to court they aren't really in on it. He said the same exact thing goes for the other person. My only question is how would the bank handle this since it went through PayPal instead of directly to the person?

 

Post office has it on file if it was shipped.

 

There should also be tracking info somewhere that he could easily provide...

 

Yes. This is true. So with that, and a print out of the thread.. should win?

 

How though, the police won't help, already called. If I was to take him to small claims what happens when he doesn't show.

 

Dispute the charge at the bank and tell them your paypal account information was stolen and that's what the charge is from since your 2 accounts are linked. Unless they're not and you had to do a funds transfer, in which case ur most likely screwed with gettin it back from the bank

 

They are linked, but the transaction is surrounded by about 200 others from repairing this car, so they wouldn't go for that.
