Ripped Off

[RLX-lvr]

I purchased an item here from a member jtw40475, back in June '08.
I sent him the $320 via money order and still have not received my item,
and now he is not responding.

His name is Joe Woods, 228 Savannah Drive
Richmond, KY 40475 United States.

He also sold some Rolex gold wave pens here, and some items in June '08, and I was wondering if the members ever received them?

...first, were they US, Canadian, or International Money Orders??

...second, I googled Joe Woods, Richmond KY and found 3.

...1) Joe D, age 72.
...2) Joseph W, age 67
...3) joel, no age.

...third, did you get CONTACT info from eBay, using the ebay item# etc??
If so, did you call?? If not, do you have a phone # that I can call, from the contact info??

Stan, my impression the watch was bought off of the forum and not ebay?

Thanks, Alan

Thanks, Alan

That's correct. It was a rolex dealer item bought from a member of this forum, his handle is: jtw40475

Also it was a Canadian money order, and I do not have the copy

[tudorman8276]

...that is so unfortunate.

...if you had your copy, you could check to see if it was cashed. If it was not cashed, then you could probably get a refund if you had the receipt.

...sorry, man.

...HOWEVER, if I get down that way, I WILL look up the address and pay a visit.

Good work Stan, good point Orchi. Now Jeff, no offense but it sounds like you got a pretty cheap lesson. Alot of people have had thousands multiple stolen from them across the web.
Words of wisdom I have learned here and elsewhere is buy the seller, not the item.

Tracking info, copies of paperwork and one should always leave a trail to walk back down when trading.
I am not for anyone getting ripped off, sickens me. But Jeff's lesson is a great deal cheaper than some of the other horror stories I have heard, read and had happen to me.

Might be time to let a scab grow over the wound and chalk it up to a learning lesson.

Jim's opinions only and in no way reflect any forum, powerseller or regualr guy walking down the street.

Hi Stan,

I have talked with Joe before. Let me look back in my pms. Also, I believe he uses the same username on ebay.

[clbcpa]

I was wrong Stan. Ebay username is jwoods23t5r. COntact info I had for him in the spring was [email protected] phone was 859-979-1210

Jeff, Possible chance of finding him could be through local law enforcement. I have a friend who is a deputy sheriff. I will ask him what he can do to help. I go close to Richmond often with my work and see if I can find where he is.
You can also send a certified letter asking for delivery confirmation and forwarding address as well.
My post earlier wasn't to be harsh, just a point how some (myself included) have lost a great deal more.
Another thing is we can hope he is at least alive and nothing had happened to him.
