s.s. numbers.. that would be the last thing anyone would do.. good idea, but things could go horribley bad..

 

that really sucks. as you said try to cancel the credit card payment, also I don't know with your credit card company but with mine there is a free service to help protect the card members. It gives me a limit of $5000 a year that for any reason of product failure, scam, etc. the credit card company will repay me or take the payment off my statement. I just have to call or fill out a form stating the reason for why i want to file an andjustment for fraud or whatever. I'd call your credit card company and see if you have this, you might and not even know it. Won't make you feel better about the guy that ripped you off but at least you get your money back. Hope this helps

 

Call your cc company. End of story. Lock thread.

That is what they are there for. They will get their money from paypal and paypal will hunt them down.

 

TTT evveryone needs to know about this kid

 

Wow, he just f'ed himself out of the biggest community for source, knowledge & help for Evolutions in the whole world.

Way to go. +1 for ban

 

A partial solution is to only give 50% up front. When you receive the goods pay the next 50%. That way at lease you are only out half. If the person resists it might be a good indicator that they are scamming. With the 50% method seller and buyer have equal risk.

 

i think i know who your talking about but i forget his name (ozrallyguy maybe) never again after all the bs did i hear from him.

 

that's a big mistake you should have talked over the phone a few times before spending money with someone you don't know. no matter what the price is i will always include my cell# for contact for trust. i am to the point that people will mail me personal checks for payment

don't take this the wrong way, all i mean is always talk first. i know it sucks and it's not your fault, but now it's your problem.

 

If you ban the person the unscrupulous would just make another ID.

If you insist on making a private party deal over this forum I'd put a lot of weight into that Personal Sales Rating thing. These threads aren't always read by everyone.

 

Nah, IP and subnet bans would keep him out of here until he changed ISPs. Plus, reporting such online fraud to his ISP would put him through hell. They may cancel his service or contact him about his fraudulent activities.
