I May Have Been Scammed Right Here On TRF

[TurboWatch]

If you can prove that the person who received and signed for the 2 watches is not who he is, and that the watches were insured, FedEx will reimburse up to the value insured.

So the question is, did you check to see if the info (name and address) on his bank account matches his shipping info?

also, I called the Columbia PD and his address is within their jurisdiction.

Good luck Doc.

Thanks for the kind words. I sent him two watches and $3,800.

Thanks for clearing that up, Joey. You haven't been here very long, but I can tell you are a fine gentleman and I do feel pretty miserable that something like that should happen to a nice guy like you.

Yes, please do all you have in your power and influence to get your watches and money back. I just wish you had contacted one of us for advice before making the move. A simple PM to me and I could have helped you.

But, no point in crying over spilt milk now............let's try and remedy the situation. Paul (Welshwatchman) has given you some terrific advice in his post above. Hope that helps.

Good luck from my side. Please do keep us updated, Joey. I would really like to know the final outcome.

Thanks & best wishes - JJ

Unfortunately, some of these yahoos lay in wait at empty homes, intercepting the packages when they arrive.

This might be the house in question according to the house numbers, this house is across the street from 403 Waterville Dr. No numbers visible, so it can't be confirmed obviously. I wouldn't start egging a house or anything.



Good Luck!!!!

That is good , what a forum! I was going to ask you to do a skip trace on his name, that would locate him immediately.

Joeychitwood,

I am so sorry to hear this. I am sure you are just pulling your hair out in anger and frustration.
This qualifies for GRAND THEFT......get the authorities involved ASAP.

I give you a good quote...just in case you see this guy...

In that case, I must have been angry and frustrated all my life - NOT TRUE!! What kinda doctor are you, Fernando?

[joeychitwood]

Thank you all so very much for the advice, kind words and assistance. Upon the very good advice of a very knowledgeable TRF member, I won't be posting any more details of my current efforts to make this right, but suffice it to say that I am leaving no stone unturned.

[CoopJr]

GD that's horibble. I'm really sorry to hear this Joe. Like the others have said...get the Police, your bank and Fed Ex involved and hope for the best. Best of luck to you.

JJ, my father is a psychiatrist....just tell me how you really feel.

[mastermixer]

Oh man, that is terrible. You are a good guy I hope everything works out.

[Dr.B]

Joeychitwood,

Maybe you could find out who the lawyers are on TRF for some help...
Come on guys....

For everyone's benefit in the future, I called FedEx. Their position is that they deliver to an address, not a person. They don't care if Pee Wee Herman answers the door and signs for the package, and there is no recourse due a sender if the package is indeed delivered to a requested address. Insurance covers only damage or loss in transit.

[dmc]

Joey I'm really sorry for what has happened to you.

It looks like someone on TRF should be close enough to Columbia, Sc, to at least have the Police accompany them to the house and inquire about the person, and the property.

They could be dead inside the house. Who knows what the real story is at this point?

Joey please keep us informed as to what the local PD is doing to help you.

If in fact it turns out that this guy has ripped you off I truly hope that all of the disease's known to mankind attack him in unison.

Good luck on getting a favorable resolve to your situation.

[PhilM]

Reading this has made me feel sick, I just hope you get this sorted ASAP..

Good Luck!!!!

how about the name the house was purchased by? it's public information and you might have access to it.

If any of you happen to find this Submariner on ebay during your fake-hunting, it's one of two watches I sent away:

That one won't go far on eBay. I can't imagine the guy being stupid enough to try to move these watches on eBay, but who knows. Make sure you check Craig's List as well. I hope Karma gets ahold of this putz and takes care of him. I swear, it takes a true POS to do this to someone.

[Dr.B]

You know this guy can log on TRF with a different name and monitor this thread.....
Hell who knows maybe that would be good....we mean business and we will all help in trying to take him down.

That's a good point and has been brought to my attention by others. For that reason, I'm only posting generalities about what has happened so far.

[dmc]

I still would like to know what the response has been from Columbia, PD?

It shouldn't take more than a couple of hours to get an officer over to the house to question the perp.

[TheDeuce]

Late to the thread- can't believe that I missed this one. I have knots in my stomach just reading this.

Good luck on this. I know a good tar and feather supplier if this loser gets caught.

[Sweramic]

I have read this whole thread and it has, indeed, made me feel sick. Scammers are the worst people I know! I wish you all the luck and hope you retrieve your belongings.
