Got ripped off
 

In the fall I searched and found what I thought was a reputable dealer for some engine parts (BB stroker assembly). Now after 3 months..no parts..no returnd e-mails or calls..6 negative feedbacks in a row on e-bay and no new auctions..Im not feeling real good https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif..I did not go thru e-bay..I should have known better..but I placed a phoned order and paid with a USPS MO...no paypal...so I guess Im eating the grand deposit I gave him https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif..any suggestions https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif..not familiar territory for me..Thanks

Hire a lawyer.

Did you mail it through the post office? If so use the following link:

Believe it or not, the Postmaster General is one of the best ways to get this resolved. They actually investigate and get the ear of local law enforcement.

Good luck!

Road trip! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif How far is the so called business?
Even if you paid with paypal it would have done you no good. I bought with paypal buy NOT on eBay and they said they could do nothing for me. I would say try and find the address and call the police in that area. Did you keep the stub for the M/O? Did you have an ad to print out to send them if needed?
Just like our cars...Docs mean everything. I wish you good luck as I know how you feel my friend! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

It is going to cost you more than your deposit to get a lawyer involved and once you win a judgement you still have find a way to collect. I learned that lesson from one of our past sellers on this site a couple of years ago. Another time about four years ago I paid $1,500.00 for a pair of aluminum heads on an auction thru e-bay I never received the parts and I never got my money back. The seller filed BK and stiffed a bunch of people. There was nothing we could do legally and Ebay was no help at all. I still buy on the internet but I go in knowing I am taking a chance. Where is the seller located?

That looks a whole lot different than I was told at our post office. I was told there awas nothing they could do about it.

I've used the postal service claim web site to successfully recover $$$$$.

Casher of money order can not legally keep your funds w/o delivering goods. U.S. D.A. and Post Master will investigate
your fraud case.
