How can I get my $1250 I was scammed out of back?
Ok… so, 43 days ago I overnighted a guy in CA (who i found on craigslist) a $1250 cashier’s check for a canon 20d camera and a canon 24-70mm L lens… I had talked to him on the phone and he made it all sound totally legit. I honestly still think it was. Basically, a long story short, I have been calling and emailing him ever since and besides a couple little emails and one time of answering a call after he cashed my check — he has been stringing me along. So in response to someones advice, I wrote him a registered letter restricted to his name only… I got the message and signature saying he recieved the letter 1.5 weeks ago, and according to what I saw– someone else signed for it, even after I paid the post office to restrict it to his signature only. This was confirmed when the guy emailed me on the deadline I gave him last Tuesday saying he would “send me my money back once he got home, as he hadn’t read the letter yet”…
Bad news, I do not think you are going to get your money back.
Contact the authorities in CA and file a complaint providing all of the information you have. You should at least have the satisfaction of him getting arrested. The authorities may also make a deal where they will not arrest him if he provides your money back.
Good luck

Fending off the adoration of punk-rock dabblers in the media and their audience while simultaneously welcoming stalwart underground-music supporters, Kurt Cobain did things on his own terms–until it all came c… |
