I'm pretty sure there are a few on here, but I'm pretty sure it isn't exactly legal to give out info on people if you're a cop.

Unauthorized database seaches are a HUGE for the cops where I work.
They have to fill out a logbook with their name and the reason to perform seaches in the system.

There is a website called NCL that deals with fraud. It is www.nationalfraud.org. A few years ago I got burned by a firefighter in california on an ebay auction. This guy had every excuse in the book and once he learned my phone numbers he stopped taking my calls. I filled out the information on the fraud website thinking what could it hurt? A few months later I received a letter from my state's office of Attorney general saying they were looking into the case. I thought yeah right. Guess what? Less than a month later here comes another letter fron the AG's office and inside was a restitution check for the full amount he owed me. It seems they gave him the option of making restitution to me throught the AG or face charges. Another time before I knew about the NCL I looked up at the county library the name of the county attorney in the city where another seller was attempting to burn me. I wrote them a registered letter stating that the county attorney(Mrs. So&So) had advised me to give them one more chance to make good before she would take the case. I received the toyota head a week later,totally stripped and all of the studs had been broken off with a hammer. It was useless junk and I would rather of had a check from the AG's office. IT is a good thing Colorado is quite far from where I live or that dishonest seller would have gotten it back through his front window. Bikers have a way of getting things returned also. Do you have any biker friends in the Kentucky area? People like this cause me to believe the old west wasn't all bad. An armed society is a polite society.

I once filed a fraud report for an Ebay auction. I am in Oregon and the seller was in California. The next week I had a police officer investigating my report and asking for details. The woman I bought from never returned any messages, but I got a check a week later for the amount I sent.

JHurst, if you do plan on filing a police report be prepared to go to Goshen KY. Whereever the money is received is where the crime occurs. So if you remember or have the address it was sent to, that will be the agency who will handle the report. You might also try olddebts.com.

Good luck

I understand it's the principal of it, but how much did you actually spend on the injectors to begin with? If it warrants going to a different state or paying someone to take care of the issue for you you gotta ask yourself: is it worth it?

Pay up

How did you pay? Postal money order? If you did that start a trace on the money order. Once you do that and you find it was cashed file a complaint with the USPS Postal Inspectors for mail fraud. If they give you a case number you can call the local law where he lives and give them the complaint and case number. They may just pay him a visit. I know this works because I've done it and I got my money back. You can run but you can't hide!!

The first thing to do is GET EVEN.This can be done in a non violent way.I suggest calling the IRS.Say you are SO and so. Tell them you have been cheating on your taxes for the last few years. God has told you to come clean.You would like to set up a appointment and straighten this out.
Thats 1 way I deal with people who screw me.I have more ways if needed.

If he was near me, I'd get it back, with interest...

Isn;t this considered Mail fraud? You mailed him the money, and he didn;t mail you the items.. Federal offense?

Just a thought?
