Bump The Thread

Thank you very much Sir.

i was scamed once but i didn't file i just figured it a waste of time has anyone ever got justice out of filing mail fraud and calling there local police cause i will do it right away if i know something can happen?

I have yet to hear anything on the ones I came up with, but these numbers helped a little, thanks and rep to you!

I was ripped off by VespertheBadger way back in March. I didn't do anything about it just because I figured what the heck.

Would it be too late to report him now?? I lost a lot of good stuff in that trade. >: (

Yeah, I don't want to call a bunch of people just to for them to tell me "there's nothing we can do" and be wasting my time.

you can add CrazyforBatgirl to the list of rippers

When I first started trading, I sent away to a couple of folks and didn't receive my end of the bargain. Since I had the address, I simply called Information and asked for the phone number that matched. One time that didn't work, so I simply called a local library and asked the lady look up a phone number from the local phone book. There is also whitepages.com (I think that's it...) for a bit of help.

Its a whole different story when you're actually talking to someone (or someones father!) on the phone...

I realize that there are a lot of people out there that are honest when it comes to trading and selling on here but those clowns that rip people off need to face the consequences. Use this info and keep it bumped

I didnt realize that was an option. AWESOME! /thumbs up

Probably what will happen is the same thing that happened to Popinjay when many of us called the local police, who then promptly told us there was nothing they could do. Good luck though.

It's not an option, it's a waste of time. Nothing can be done to rippers. Everyone has tried and you never hear about the post office arresting someone for mail fraud or the police even taking the time to talk to the ripper. I was ripped once on here and learned that when I contacted anyone and everyone.

Your experience may have been negative, but the one (and only) time things advanced to the point where I had to file mail fraud charges and contact the local police, not only did they go out and talk to the individual, the detective I spoke with provided me with his own number/extension so I did not have to get bounced around a switch board every time I called for an update.

Eventually the trade was resolved to my statisfaction and I fully credit the police involvement for that successful resolution.


In other words, like most everything in life, your experience might vary. Doesn't mean the attempt shouldn't be made, though. After all, by that point what do you have to lose?
