Sure it is worth trying but I would be prepared for them to tell you tough luck. If you have any luck post up here and maybe I'll give it a try too. This experience has taught me one thing: don't let paypal use your bank account. If you had your credit card as the sole source of funding then there is a good chance you can complain to the CC company and they will eat the loss to keep you happy and possibly use their resources to go after him. It sounds like one or two people have had that happen so they lucked out. Short of the Police seizing funds and returning it to us, we are screwed I'm afraid.

I'm pretty sure if you go to the bank and complain, print out sufficient evidence proving your case and mention that you have consumer rights. Try and see, they make money off of what every you keep in your account, I'm pretty sure if you threaten to take business else where they will see what they can do to help you out.

This is what I just got from paypal:

The refund sent by Parker Tauzier (Payments@TopDeadCenterRacing.com) did not clear from the sender's bank. You have not received funds for this payment in your PayPal account.

Please contact Parker Tauzier regarding this refund.



So yeah, I used my bank account through paypal, looks like I'm not seeing my money. Great, just great. All I can say is I hope a criminal investigation will be underway with this punk.



So should I try contacting my bank or the credit card company on my debit card? Seems like I'll be SOL.

I will hit the bank up tomorrow.

Consumer Rights: how to make 'em play fair...

That's the best description I could find

you will need to file one yourself.

well- I hope that weasel that told me to quit whining kisses my ass- I got the same email- used my bank account and paypal don't guarentee sh** $475 out the window.....I feel like a trip to Georgia to find the little faggot

I know every one wants to ride the coat tails of 1 persons criminal investigation but you all really need to file your own and trust me they will all run together if all called into the same department

its difficult being that i'm not home much but yes, i agree with you. as soon as i have a chance within the next day or two, i will contact his local police department.

Do I need to compile anything that would need to be faxed to the police department?

In my opinion, if everyone is to file a report with his local police department, I think we should generate some type of template (information to include within the report etc etc)

Thoughts?

There should be a list of names and totals and how it was paid a summerized breakdown of whats unfolded and confirmation you have filed with paypal and your banks and or credit card companys

Also the facts that he hasnt responded the website chandged and his number has been shut off

They will most likely open a case number and have others stem off of it
They could also say you have to file a civil suit

For those who paid with cc thats interstate fraud and so on

That is exactly why I don't think it is a good idea to file a bunch of complaints at once. Whomever talks to the PD that will handle it first should post back here with exactly what the police will need and how to best send it to them. Otherwise this is going to take some back and forth for everyone to get all of the required info. Each of us will need to provide the necessary info for our individual transaction with Parker and formally press charges. It is not like a day or two is going to matter much at this point. If Parker ran, he took off a while ago when he cleared out his account.

I'm busy until Wed at least. If no one has gotten back with information by then I'll try calling the PD.
