About a month ago I was going to make a transaction with this guy that I met on ebay.com. Long story really short I sent him a video card with approximate value listed at $700.00 and he was to send me a computer processor listed at about the same. So I sent the video card over to him, and he “sent” the processor over to me. Well he never really sent the video card; the tracking # that he gave me was a phony one. So I converse a little with him online and he basically says not to trust people online and he tells me that I have learned a valuable lesson from this.

So basically I just got screwed out of $700.00 and that guy is laughing all the way to bank. I have his name, address, I even have a few of the emails and the FedEx tracking # which shows he did sign for it. Is there anything that I can do? I have submitted a complaint with the IFCC and so far I have heard nothing from them.

If I called the law enforcement in Mass where he lives will they be able to do anything? I can’t believe or find it hard to believe that there is nothing that can be done.

Please help me.

Well here is the thing. I pulled the auction to do the deal away from ebay. So they will not help me now.

So there is nothing that can be done? We can do amazing things on this earth, land a man on the moon but nothing legally can be done since I got taken over the internet? What great law enforcement we have. Hell I'm going to quit my day job and screw people over the internet.

Wow Thank you everyone! I don't mean to sound crabby in a few of my responses but $700.00 is a lot of money just to throw away ya know? I hope everyone knows where I was coming from.

It brings a tear to my eye to actually see people that I don't even know take an interest in something that happened to me! As God as my witness I WILL NOT quit until I either get my money back or I get the product I sent to that scum bag back!

I really do appreciate everyone's input on this and I will be keeping everyone posted!

Thanks again!

Nate

Dumb question but I have to ask... Aren't there some cops in this forum that have replied to my thread? Can't they/you help me?
