Hey Chad M,

The detective from Edmonton just gave me a call back and he said it is out of his jurisdiction esp Internet fraud. Damn, this is why internet fraud is proliferating since only certain agencies track them.

I've already filed as you know with recol.ca but no help to date.

Up to the RCMP to catch the ^&*$!!!

No update at all from the authorities. The scumbag is not even replying to my emails... in fact he's gone underground... perhaps even set up camp somewhere else!

There should be 'internet fraud' cells at the police too that look into these scams.
You can also look up IP adresses used for sending the emails so in fact you can back track (with help of ISP's) to find out from where he has been sending them, maybe you can find his house this way.

Did that too, but the internet provider did not respond.

Most ISP's will only reveal info like that with a court order so you should contact the internet fraud cells, they can do that for you.

This is horrible. Personally I do not buy items that cost more then $300. I know if anything happens and the seller screws me I go directly to my CC and have them deal with it. I have done some research and PALPAY will drag you along and exceed the 30 days for reverse charges that ur CC requires. Don't bother with paypal. I am also reluctant on selling because I have heard buyers reversing charges to paypal. If I sell an item it would not be anything that cost more then $150.

Good luck hope u get the SOB.

I cancelled my PP account. Fees are too high and my bank told me PP is very fraud prone, whether an intentional scam or account hacking. If I want to buy badly enough and the seller wants to sell, we will find a way to make a deal w/o PP.

Roadcarver,
The times I have dealt with the RCMP they weren't too quick, but they were conscientious and thorough. I recommend staying with them, and if necessary asking to speak with a supervisor. If they're like the FBI or U.S. Postal Inspectors, this sort of thing is indeed their jurisdiction and specialty. I'm sorry all this happened, and rather upset with PayPal for not handling the problem. If the area forum members are willing, maybe we should publish this guy's photos, and the rest of his life, on the web, you know, to help him out... BTW- there should be an initial police report for whatever passes (in Canada) for theft by deception. Try to get your watch entered on the Canadian version of NCIC just in case the watch gets "ran" using its serial number. Good luck!
