Yeah, I know!

[Diegoboy]

This thing is still here?

[z400]

It would be a quick buy for me if i had the money.

but i was scammed out of $110 so right now im a bit low on play money

[Meniscus]

Sorry to hear that z400. Was it swapshop related?

Item has sold. Thank you for looking.

[z400]

Wasnt related to OSE.
I bought a Futaba 3PM fasst radio from a Kevin Marsh out of Dover Delaware through RCUniverse. He never sent me my radio. I bet ive sent him over 75 PM's and e-mails.
I know of 2 username's that he uses on 4 different websites.
All 4 he has not been active on lately.
I know of 2 other r/c users that he scammed.
So far ive got his physical address and his e-mail address.

My next move is to call his local Police Department to see what can be done.
Im waiting to hear back from 1 of the 2 other guys who he scammed.
One of the guys ive already talked to, he's from california, he was supposed to trade his rc10gt with Kevin Marsh for a Mini MGT, Kevin never shipped the MGT.

I did file a dispute with paypal, paypal was only able to recover a lousy $3.87 of my $110.00.
I have lost all faith and trust in doing deals over the internet.
I thought i was 100% safe doing it through paypal, but apparently not.

[Meniscus]

Sorry to hear that Sean.

The best way to start the process is to file a report here: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

Also, in the swap shop, at the top, there's a section to share with others information about those people who have had problems with payment or receipt of items. I'm sure that everyone would appreciate all of the information you can provide such as, Usernames, Names used, Email addresses associated with Paypal or other accounts, Address or local area, etc. etc.

I hope the website helps

[Meniscus]

Also, I would contact one of the administrators at RC Universe. They should be able to provide you an IP address (or addresses) for that user. With that information, you can report to the IC3 site and work with local authorities.

Usually, the IP address will take them right to his house, then to his bank, and then maybe you can get some resolution.

[z400]

Ive got his full name, street address and home phone number.
Along with the first and last names of 2 other people he has scammed and their phone numbers.

I'll try to get ahold of Nathan(admin) over on RCU, he has e-mail and PM's disabled on the forum.

[Meniscus]

Yes, sounds like you have a great start. When you do use that website I provided, try to keep it brief and to the point. No need discussing all of the communications. I present like this:

Issue:
Funds Transferred:
Items received: (none)
POC (Point of Contact) info: for you, other affected parties and accused
Explanation of actions taken to remedy situation (or lack there of)
Timeline of events:

They will work with local authorities and conduct follow on interviews as necessary. Be sure to provide all of your contact info so that they can easily reach you because they deal with a lot of cases. It's best to be responsive so that you don't get put at the bottom of the stack.

I believe that you have all of the information you'll need to state your case to the authorities, and keep in mind that this is not only a local matter, it is federal "cyber" crime as well due to fact that transactions occurred over state lines.

Last thing to remember, before you group yourself with the others who have been affected, consider that others may have been threatening with the individual. When it comes to a resolution, you only want your case to include the events and communication that you are responsible for, not others.

I wrote a good solid 2 paragraphs, also submitted the names and phone numbers of the other two victims that i know of.

Thanks for IC3.
I wasnt aware of that site.
Im going to wait to hear back from them and then contact the local Police Department of Dover Delaware.

[Meniscus]

No problem, happy to help. I think a lot of people are unaware of that site.

I'd go ahead and contact the locals, that way the balls moving everywhere. Who knows, he may get a traffic ticket and they'll detain him to talk about these other items!

[z400]

Police arent going to do anything.
I just spent 45 minutes on the phone with 4 different state cops and one of the fraud detectives.

Im about done with this hobby.
Everything i buy is over the internet.
Theres not a hobby shop within 100 miles of me that carries the supplies i need.

[Meniscus]

Don't give up on the hobby! I'm sure that there are some options out there. I think maybe your best option is to save up and make a larger purchase, rather than smaller ones. I think that if you approach, Steven here on OSE for instance, he'd be willing to work with you to get a larger order together. It may mean you have to wait a little while for the first purchase, but after that it will be the same amount of stuff you purchase coming in.

I would recommend saving money throughout the rest of the year, make a purchase in the fall and then you can build over the Winter. Just a thought.
