    Angry Got scammed need help.....

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Alright so I sell this guy a V1 radar for $420 shipped. He found me on ebay, and we did the deal without ebay. He sent me a check (even though i asked for a MO) and I waitied for it to clear. I looked at my banking online and they added it with no problem. Then, I went ahead and shipped it out. Now, I look at my banking online and they deducted -$420 from my account. So in other words, I just got scammed dirty. So now what? I DID insure it with USPS for $400. That can be choice 1, or I can fly out there.. which is choice 2. Hes located in TROY NY 12180. Im getting the address tommorrow.. so any ideas on what to do? cause this guy is not getting away with this.

    contact usps and see if you can gety the money. If not, i would, like you are already doing, get his address and either go get your sh*t back or bring police into things. Sometimes police help out better

    USPS might be able to stop the delivery...you have tracking right? if so that would be easier for them to track and stop

    it has been delivered.. Thats why he some how deducted his money back! How he did that, dont know. But tommorrow the bank better have a reason.

    I didnt even know that can happened. I thought that once the check was in and it was cleared then its mine.

    How did your bank add $420 then deduct it? I don't understand.

    They say hindsight is always 20/20, but you should never accept check from people you don't know or fully trust.

    Exactly. Next time I'd just go to his bank (hopefully they have a chain near you) and cash it. Done.

    I don't get banks. I'd yell at the bank some more. Make them own up or go after his account again for the money.

    Sounds like you got pwn3d.

    You have his address, call the local police...

    I believe he could be charged with mail fraud, sending bogus checks through the mail, etc...

    I know a guy who got pwn3d by some guy in NYC for a Honda motor he sold him. The guy chickened out on the money but kept the motor. They drove all the way to NYC from Ohio, went to this guy's house, and held him there until the 5.0 arrived. w00t. He got pwn3d!
