Could be a possibility but as far as i know the mods can identify his ip address and see if he is trying to or has created another account.

I know of other forms that have done this.

I agree we don't ban him for at least another 2 weeks to see if he shows his face.

The money is tied up in the paypal claim still pending refund. Says it could take 7 days to show up in the bank account... I'm on day 4 of that, and I ordered it on the 26th. I wonder if the funds are even available to transfer back to our accounts... I sent a nice message on myspace to his wife/gf/exwife a few days ago and it says she has read it, but no response. It was a nice message too, nothing bad, just letting her know that there is over $4000 and there could be criminal charges, that we needed to hear from him, or any explanation... This is getting pretty childish of him.

I just got the same thing. Time for criminal prosecution.

Keep us updated if paypal does anything about the cc claim.

Damn, same thing here, I called Visa and they said I need to wait 30 days from date of purchase to file a claim with them. As of now has anyone actually cash in their account?

My status says removed for the refund wtf does that mean?

It means that you had the same thing happen. Check your email. The fraud cleaned out his account a while ago like we all feared.

By now every one he owes money to should have Reported him here

I hope AmericanSoldier can talk the the local authorities soon and update them that we are not getting any refunds. Hopefully they can pass on some info on the preferred way to get in touch with them and send any documents necessary to prove that each of us was defrauded and for how much money. If any of you used a credit card go that route. My paypal account draws from my bank account so I'm SOL for sure. I'll be changing to only credit card immediately. For most of us a legal remedy is the last chance we will have.

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. I banned his username, as well as IP and email addresses because that's all the options I have as an admin on the KCPMC boards. He could easily sign up for a new account from a different IP and email, but I regularly check out new member's info and it's a heck of a lot easier to track on our local boards with less than 300 members total.

Nope. We just got the emails a few hours ago. I wanted to exhaust the paypal option first. I think it might go smoother if the local PD has a heads up and if there is one officer that will handle it, it might be better to get that info first so we can all direct correspondence more efficiently. AmericanSoldier already talked with someone there. I'm hoping that they will open a case and provide an email address and/or some other specific way to get in touch with whomever will be handling the case. Just flooding them with complaints might not be the best way to go. IDK. This will bug me enough that in a few days I'll contact them if we don't hear something else first.

Well, I just got off the phone with the Paypal dispute department. They said that the seller tried to do a refund from their bank account but had insufficient funds. He told me that sellers will do that to buy them some time and close the claim. He said once a refund is a attempted then he claim is closed. If no funds were refunds Paypal does a "Best Effort" recovery to get the funds back. In not so many words he said I'm screwed unless Visa can do something for me. I asked that the claim be escalated to the fraud department and he said they had already had a complaint going for him in the fraud department.

Just so everyone knows, Paypal does not guarantee or protect transactions outside eBay. They will only try to get your money back.
