He might have blocked you from his Facebook page but not us. Post his address as well as phone number. Let him hear from a few of us.

What WillD said^

If you know his address and have talked with the parents, then you know the township.
You could call the local authorities, tell them about your transaction and offer to send proof.
If anything, you would get more info on how to go about handling it.

I know a piece of paper would not stop someone who is mentally unstable, but if might just scare a 26 year old kid straight....

Ask about a restraining order while you are at it.... you could tell the authorities how you feel about the situation and ask for the best scenario.

I am going to talk to the local Police and see what they have to say....and I will wait a week or so and see what his parents do.  If his parents have no positive influence on him, then likely they either don't care or have lost the ability to reason with him and keep him honest.

I am not yet ready to post his contact information or name, I want to give his parents a chance first.

I will post his name soon however - so that none of you might fall into one of his scams.

It seems like it's time for tag team facebook smackdown on the perp.
1 or 2 at a time take turns airing out the dirty laundry on his facebook page.
We got enough people here this could go on for a while.

If a M.O. is drawn on the U.S Post Office, It would be a Federal offense, and with filing appropriate paperwork, It is Mail Fraud. And all sorts of, 'lettered', agencies can get involved.

(Of course, don't know, what priority the current POTUS, has put to it.)

A, M.O. from ANY other place, if you don't get what you bought, you are S.O.L.

Most mail fraud allegations never even get investigated unfortunately, and one for $75 would most likely make the bottom of the pile  Undecided  definitely not the angle to go at it.

The kid (young cowardly man) is screwed up and has little or no conscience.  I imagine he is typical of the squids that raid New York on motorcycles....he most likely has been getting away with being stupid and sees little or no consequences to being dishonest.

If he already has a criminal record and something in process....maybe this violation could be tacked on to the existing actions.  The current problem is that I really don't know what his address is.....he has moved around quite a bit and and has live in Zanesville, Coshocton, Columbus, and may currently be somewhere around Lewis Center.

I just talked to the local Police Chief......jurisdiction is a real problem on the internet.  I work in Wilder, who knows where PayPal is located, my bank is in another City....the recipient is in another state. So.....the local authorities can't do much.

There is a place I found that you can report mail (wire) fraud, and it appears that internet fraud is applicable.  It does appear that the cases that get reviewed and enforcement action is when there are multiple reports and the authorities believe it is worth looking into.

I have not heard from his parents.....so I guess they are not surprised that their son is a thief.

I will be posting in the Classified Section on the 250 Riders Forum....and see if anyone else was scammed.

yeah, when dealing with paypal I always send money via transaction for goods or services, even if it costs me a bit more, just to be on the safe side.

Dave,
Post a craigslist ad (will they let you post hings like that?) in those areas with his name and what he did.  Surely an ex girlfriend or someone else he has cheated or scammed would like to see him in trouble. Offer to split the $75 with them if their information helps you recover the $75.

Heads up on using E-bay and pay-pal, make sure you have a tracking number for the delivery. I sold a nice WW2 airplane compass to some guy over in Hong Kong but he had never updated his address in E-bay after he had moved. I was using the customs number as a tracking number but it didn't show that the package was delivered to the wrong address, it only showed that it was delivered to Hong Kong. Long story short, pay-pal refunded all his money including shipping and I was out the compass because of his mistake. Couldn't prove the package was delivered to the wrong address without delivery confirmation so I was in the wrong.

 I really hate the fine print sometimes.

Dave, good luck with getting your money back or getting the part. Keep up the pressure, it may help.

Sold a Colt, 1911, (A Auction).
It was one of the 4,000 they made.
It was a, REPRODUCTION, of the original 1914 one.
It was NIB and photos, CLEARLY SHOWED, the RED,  Tag on the firearm,
stating CLEARLY,   “ REPRODUCTION”,  
Other photos, CLEARLY, showed the, ‘white’ box.
The Ser number was, CLEARLY, Listed, and it was:   “WWI xxxx”.

The, ‘buyer’ from calf, said, this was represented as a, ‘original’ WW1 firearm in NIB condition.
(And the CC Company, actually was so clueless they believed him)

It was NOT, in Any Way Shape or form!

Sold it for 1,400.00.
If it was a, ‘Original’ 1914 one, and NIB, it would have been, 25,000.00.

Yet the CC company,  REFUNDED, this persons money.
1. On the basses she did not understand WWI, was NOT, called WWI, till AFTER, WWII.
   (WWI, was called,  ’The Great War”,  BEFORE  WWII)
Or.  2. She just didn’t like firearms.

End result, got it back, NOT IN PRISTINE SHAPE,
Sold it for 900.00.  (Had 1,000.00 into it)
and 6 months of, F*&#’ing around with a female, who did NOT know,
WWI, [i](or did not care)
, was,  BEFORE, WWII.[/i]


75.00 bucks.  Yea,  Do  EVERYTHING, you can do.
to upset this,  DFI SCAMMER’s  Life.
Maybe, just maybe,  the Spammer will learn.

If not,  Love the listed video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlDGFrP4NgI

This type of 12 year old DFI  Spamming will ONLY   Stop,
if good people,  DO, something about it !
