its amazing how many times people on here have posted, NEVER SEND MONEY BY MONEY GRAM OR WESTERN UNION and they still do, do they forget the warning or what, they should have read ay least one of the posts about that, send money by either one of those methods and your money is gone, lost forever

So, I've got an old broken axel that I would be glad to donate to the cause. It'd look good going through his front window...slim

Shoebox, I got scammed many years ago here on Fordbarn on a winter front grill from a guy in No. Cal.. He also stole money from about 4 others for the same grill. I made contact with two of the 5 of us and we all called the Calaveras County Sheriffs Department and the detective started to work our case. It took several months but we did end up getting our money back. The detective told me at the start, because of the amount of money involved, he really had no legal grounds "per-sea" to arrest him but held hope that his position as a detective and intimidating conversations/investigations would be enough to make him do the "right thing", and it did (minus some shipping cost/but got 90% back). My advice would be is to contact with as many people as you can that have been scammed by this guy, get all your info/evidence together and call the local police department and get a detective on the phone with all of the info and cross your fingers. I tend to think my result was the exception, not the "rule". Good Luck.
