1st can one of the mod's or RJ ops, check to see if the 2nd post of the $1450.00 came from the same IP address as the first post for $1850.00 or was it hacked. That's the first question.
2nd, Jake do you and can you produce a reciept that you did send him/her the total of the $1460.00 requested for the sale as listed on RJ. If you have and produce this paperwork you have him bank fraud, internet fraud and possible other charges.
I would then contact the Attorney General in Ala. and supply him with all the doc's relative to the case..
I talked to my friend here in La. who has worked for the Attoreny Gen'l office for 15 yrs. as a state fraud investigator, investigating dealers and sellers of cars/car dealers. He says if he were in La. he would have already been arrested if you have the documentation if that happened here. He's the guy that owns the 66 Biscyne that i've mentioned a few time here on RJ.
In case no one took a screen shot of both ads i did and have them saved in my computer. I don't think just because you are 6,000 mi away you should be scammed in this matter. That is if you can produce the reciept for that amount of money and you did post the bank transfer/number.

OOOOOOOh CRAP... go to your bank ASAP. and you might be able to do a reverse fund transfer,, if the Acct is still open and if they have the money, hurry man ,, hurry,,you will not need the sellers authorization to do this,.. and you can have your bank, pull what info they can from the routing numbers,, but it sounds like you will have to go after, who evers name is on the Acct that you transfered the money to, Also by having the routing numbers, and if you have the Name and address of the bank,,, you can order
stuff off that Acct,, oooh man ,, thats great ,IF the Acct is still open,,
I have already tried that the bank will not return money without acc. holders permission.

I havnt got a copy of the $1400.00 add that is the add. that he changed the price on, on the12/08/10. I do have the receipt for the $1460.00 wire transfer.

Tod74

bottom line even if he is telling the truth(he isn't) that thedeposite was non refundable NOBODY gives a $1460 non refundable deposite on an $1800 item. If it were $100-$200 then maybe his story would hold water but not $1460. :!: :!:

my opinion he is banking onthe fact that because you are in another country you won't be asble to touch him. scumbag.

Neither story really holds water. I don't think it is possible to edit the ad and raise the price, you can only add information not change what is already there. So he couldn't have raised the price on 12-8 as claimed.

The seller has 2 ads for the same item within minutes of each other, the second one having a lower price. Possible mistake, I guess but who knows.

My real question would be how much money was truly sent and what were the conditions. If you give me a deposit and tell me you will have the rest in 2 weeks, then fail to hold up your end of the bargain, you lose plain and simple.

TheRabbit

That's true about changing the add, but I don't see why he would send a deposit to someone for $1,460. And if he did why no contact after that about the balance. I do not want a deposit on anything. You give me your word that you want it it's yours until XX date then we talk again make the deal or not. I'm not so greedy that I'll take somebody's deposit and hope they are a day late and I keep it.

My idea of a sale is not I win you loose. It's a win win for both. I sell something I don't want / need anymore buyer gets something he wants at a fair price that he / she agrees to.
