Big Kazoo?? It's dead as hell here. Too d@mn cold too.

How much did you lose?? How did you pay him??

 

[CartysCrib]

sent him an International Money Order for $415


Couple of my friends say piss on it, Road trip to this fools house...but that might not accomplish anything if he has spent the money.......

RCMP is national (hence the 'C' )

Can't you cancel a Money Order? I think you can, check into it fast.

I just tracked the envelope.....
Says...
We attempted to deliver your item in CANADA at 9:07 am on January 13, 2003.
Does this mean that since I had insurance, and sent it registered mail, that since the guy had to sign for it he refused the package?
How many more times will they attempt to deliver it?

FWIW, that address is smack in the middle of downtown Toronto. Wonder if it's just a mail drop or something.

Dude, if he didn't accept the money order yet, I think you can go to where ever you got it from and say it was stollen/fraud/lost whatever, and then they cancel it and give you a refund. Check it out quick, before he gets the letter and cashes the money order.

 

[CartysCrib]

If it's a mail drop, it's kind of hard for the guy to sign for it eh?

(DOH I'm sounding Canadian!!)

Upon contacting the other person, I found out that both of us sent him money for the same item. After countless emails, and private messages, which he wont respond to, I setup a fake email account and messaged him about another part he had for sale. He messaged me right back stating that he had the engine. I then responded, well why did you sell the same engine to me and another guy? I havent gotton a reply yet.

PM me for location and name of person if you are in the Toronto Canada area.

I live in Michigan, what can I do to get my money back? Any Ananders wanna pay this guy a visit?

I say we go over and beat the sh!t out of him. It will be worth the drive over the border

 

[CartysCrib]

amen dave

I live in Northern Michigan....384 short miles from Toronto

 

[UberDave]

eh it would be around mid 200 miles for me.... heh.... i think you should pay him a visit - if you got a car that can go that far (i dont )

 

[CartysCrib]

lol..funny you should say that. I just got back from a friends house near the Cities in Minnesota....my 91' S-10 made it there just fine, but on the way home I managed to burn 2 quarts of oil in 300 miles :Q

Stop the money order if you can, and call the police.

Personally I do not to do large deals over the net. I stick to sub $100 CAD deals for international private transactions generally, with some exceptions. I have been burned in the past, but have never lost more than US$40 because of my restrictions on the deals.

 

[CartysCrib]

ok, the item was successfully delivered in Canada, USPS's tracking service can lick my sack....Yesturday it said that the item was attempted to be delivered at 9:40am......now it says on Jan 13th @ 6:40am it was delivered successfully.....WTF? Anyway, I've put a stop on the money order and am wondering if I should contact his police or my local police....He also had to sign for my package, meaning I have a sig to use if I decide to take legal matters.
