Wow this is rediculous. I was scammed (well, I don't know that yet, but by the look of this thread...) by this guy very recently. I completely fell for it. I even spoke with him on the phone and was very friendly. I'm too trusting I guess. That has just changed!

I (might have, most likely) lost over $700 Canadian for a 2405FPW monitor to this guy. Western Union, cash transfer... This is the most expensive lesson I've ever learned.

I have some information about this guy in emails, and perhaps I can call my phone company and figure out from where that call came from, but nothing really solid. :( So now I have to call Western Union, Telus, Police, and my mom to let her know what her son is up to. ;) Any tips, words of comfort are welcomed.

ARGH!

Word of comfort: He's screwed a lot of people, and therefore has a lot of enemies. His chances of getting stopped are getting higher and higher.
 
I sent this jackass $300, I have his cell phone number and what he claims is his home address. If somebody could send me the address they have for him, I will be in Orlando on business in two weeks, I will stop by and *NOT SPEAKING OF VIOLENCE* him until he coughs up the money he took from me.

I used my VISA with Western Union, has anybody been able to get any money back?

Cheers

I was scammed all the way from New Zealand. please tell me what I should do. I only work part-time, and I am a student. It took me 2 months to gradually save up the money to pay this asshole. $600 bucks worth.

Please tell me what I can do
 
some one with some cool skils (dont know how my self) should call him up and ask if he still has the monitor for sail, talk to him for awhile and ask questions about how nice the moniter looks and the such. after your long conversation, using your cool skils you should have his addres by teliphone tracking
 
I've got some buds down in South FL...Man if it was me, I'd organize a trip with those scammed and show up at his door *not speaking of violence* and make sure we were refunded, plus I'd bring local detectives, authorites, and get a search warrant to see what if any or your maoney was sitting around
 
Has anyone actually sent an item to him or has it all been just PayPal / Western Union? Doesn't the money have to be tied to something somewhere like a bank? You'd think you could get an investigation with all these claims.
 
If you want to talk stolen money lemme tell you my story...Back in Feb I had my money stolen....$2,500 of it....Well here it is six months later, dude's been sittin in jail but he owe's me every penny of that...They stuck him on probation and told him that if he doesn't pay me my money, that he goes to prison....So I may or may not see the money....But here it is 6 months later got a letter from the state attorney's office three days ago...Stating that he was sentenced to a slap on the wrist and $2,580 restitution to be exact...And believe me, I'm keeping in good contact with his probation officer....Basically just telling those scammed don't think everythings going to happen overnight...And the only reason I'm getting any of this money back is because my cousin was one of the detectives on this case and the other guys money he stole...Well the dudes father was a cop....I got ahold of him and he went way down....So good luck man I feel you, I've been there too....Def pm me if you have any ?'s about this because I could def give you a ton of insight on the money situation....Very frustrating, but def shoot me a pm.....
 
Yeah I'm filing a report right now. I will try to call the local police tommorrow too if I get a chan ce.
 
Nearly one month has passed since this con artist fooled me. Soon I can legally turn over all the info I have to the authorities.

I'm in constant contact with the Seminole Co Sheriff Department where he picked up my Western Union on 7 October 2005. We are hot on his tail and nearing close to nabbing him. I'm Active Duty Army so when the army gets involved we make heads roll. I have JAG involved along with local authorities and we are making progress.

It would be helpful to know who else was effected so I can add that to the case and possibly help these other people. What i need is

Name, Contact #, City State (Country if outside USA) and Amount so that I can pass it on to Investigator Zabik at the Seminole County Sheriff Dept Computer Crimes Division.

Thank you,

Lance Walker, Specialist, USA
