He lives in the Waynesville/Crocker area. Which is approx 2hrs (120mils) west on Highwayy 44 from Saint Louis.
Had he not refunded me I would have been using a vacation day to drive the 2hrs down there and file a police report. And remember folks, anything totaling above $500 is felony theft in Missouri and if you guys/gals don't get your items or money back make sure you contact the deputy listed on the Anand thread and file your complaint.
As well he is in the National Guard and it shouldn't be hard for the police to find him if they need to. I have family that has been stationed at Ft. Leonard Wood for over 15 years so if I need to can contact them and see what they can find out.
What he is telling you sounds like nothing but lies, lies and more lies! He has been outed as a known bad trader and has been banned from HardForums and Anandtech. Why would you think he is going to ship your stuff or refund your money? The longer you wait to file and escalate a paypal claim means the longer he has access to that money in his paypal account.
And just in case anyone needs it here is his picture.
Holy crap Lou.. where you found all these?
