UPDATE THREAD: Have just received the last payment refund, with interest. Though it has taken a long time, j0j081 has paid me all the money back, and has been great with communication in the last two weeks. Thanks for all the help guys!
I realize this is in the wrong forum, so mods please assist!
I have been given the run around on a $230 sale by member ***** several months ago. I am wondering who to contact on these forums to alert the community. I will be filing a police report, though I want online communities to be aware as well.
EDIT:
Rough idea of case-
Beginning of October- Agreed to purchase Phenom 955 and 4870 from member j0j081for the price of $230, shipped and paypal included.
I paid for the items via Paypal purchase. I was given responses such as "tomorow or Tuesday", etc/ etc for several days.
23rd of October, j0j081said the package must have been lost, and he would transfer funds to his paypal to pay me back.
Several messages later, still being put off for money. 11/6/2009 he tells me to file a claim with paypal.
I file the claim, am told that I should get money back, but they cannot access any of his funds.
I am told that I will be sent a check for the refund.
11/12- He says that if it will take more than a day or two, he will overnight the money.
11/24- He informs me that he has no money, but is working on it.
11/24- Offers to pay back in payments, I tell him that I would rather get the whole amount at once.
12/10- Says he cannot do all at once, wants to do split payments.
12/15- Agrees to do 2 payments, $115 each by 12/20 and 12/27
No payments last night, and he did not respond to my pm today informing him that I was filing a police report.
EDIT: Just got a message from him saying he did not have the money, with an apology. He said he would have at least half by this Saturday, and would try to send the full amount. I asked for his phone number, I will edit once he sends it. I told him CC paypal was ok to refund with.
