Anyone near Peoria, Illinois?

Helmut, have you talked to anyone that can possibly pay the remainder of the payment and just take possesion of the rearend...if he still has it? Then you KNOW you will get it when you can make it down here.

Just a suggestion, Kurt

That's what I'm hoping for...

I sent you a PM, but your box is full. I would first start with going to your local police dept. and making a report with them.

Thanks, I cleaned out my box.

Since this is a cross-border issue, the local police don't even want to take a statement... and if they do, they tell you straight-up that they won't even pickup the phone to make a single inquiry on the matter. The number of files they have on matters like this are enormous, and they don't have the resources to pursue it. They told me that they pursued a matter where one of their own officers got ripped off for a large sum of money... apparently even that was unsuccessful.

I realize that it is an across the border transaction,BUT, before "we" would even begin to touch it we would want to see an original report documented with the alleged allegations. DO NOT take this the wrong way, but I would not risk my career on taking someone's word over the internet about an alleged crime. I know that people could still lie even if they make a report,BUT having the complainant file a written report puts some onus on them as well. However,the main problem with these cases is in determining where the alleged crime took place. We get these quite often and document them either way. We do not go to Canada to pick people up on "small" deals like this and I believe the "Feds" have a dollar amount of a loss that must be met before they will become involved, last I heard it was $5000.00. If you get the report filed then I would call the Peoria Police Department and ask them to find this guy and get a statement from him about what happened in this deal. Many times when "we" show up to talk these people they suddenly become inspired to finish the deals.

Helmut, I sent you a PM but I am not sure if it was delivered. Let me know.

[L78M22Rag]

Can you believe it... today, almost a month after I couriered my money order to him, Gary sent back my $500 money order in the mail.

If someone helped convince him to do that, I sure appreciate it!

Glad he apparently "got honest" all of a sudden.
