Need some advice on a legal issue regarding scams paypal etc

ROLLTIDE4LIFE · Feb 22, 2009

Ok well a guy on here scammed me and a few others for 1,000+ in paypal. I am a little disappointed to be honest. This guy had been a problem trader on here before but there is no way for anyone else to know this. I suggest that to maintain this as the best trade and info site on the internet ( and my personal fave, do not mean to bash but this is a fair criticism) that their be more visible signs and rules to trading. Enough of that, I love this site and do not want to bad-mouth it because I got ripped off which is an inherent risk online.

The real issue. I want to get this scumbag. I have all his information. I am gathering all the evidence I can from the others who were scammed on here in an effort to present a clear and strong case for a relatively substantial amount of money. my question is how do I pursue prosecution? Is there some sort of online body dedicated to internet fraud you would suggest? is it best too contact his local authorities? I just want to do this as quickly and effectively as possible so as to clean the bad taste out of my and some other outstanding baord members mouths?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Ethan

I too would like to know who you are talking about. Please share with me as well.

trademhigh · Feb 22, 2009

Paul told me to tell you that he took me for a Beavan chrome Auto 6 months ago. I also suggest you contact pat neshek on his trade site and the SCF staff; he was a problem over there, as well.

I already gave you all his info a week ago.

PaulKonerkbro · Feb 22, 2009

I would be interested in knowing for my own current and future safety as a trader.

put me in line...

PM me as well....

He's stopped answering his phone and it seems like the only thing left to do is go after him legally. I really dont think his name needs to be hidden since his name is in the trader info area.

Ok, lets hold off on sending out all the PMs before the staff has a concrete answer for the OP on this. I am pretty sure that this is a legit issue, I just don't want to let things get out of hand on here.

trademhigh · Feb 22, 2009

Guys, is it really necessary to ask him to give you his info if you were not involved with the guy? This thread was the OP asking for info on what he should do. He was NOT creating a thread for the purpose of warning others.
Just my .02.
