How is fraud a civil matter? Unless you're talking about forum trolled where some dude comes in and just irritates you, in which case you should stop fsking posting.... but if you're talking about fraud, yeah... that's against the law.

I don't want to post specifics just yet...but in essence, he's been putting me off for almost a month. This person purchased my MPX220 cellphone... stating money had been sent...he then states that he could not afford it and wanted to send it back (fine)...after I GOT the Ars moderators involved, he sent an email saying a CHECK was sent...over a week ago... haven't heard from the Ars moderators nor this individual. I have the insurance tracker from USPS and all Email correspondence.

I called the local PD of this guy and they told me there was nothing they could do.

So really, he isn't a "troll", he's a thief, who took your mobile phone without paying for it?

But why would you send it before you receive payment? I don't understand.
