Default scammer

How do you go about getting someone suspended from here so he cant screw anyone else? (MGTMAN91) is a piece of **** and he knows it he already has got 3 people so do not deal with him.He got my savy 3 speed and has given me and some other people the same tracking number and that one went to california.I have some family that live by him lucky me,I have his address and Google earth is a great tool to check on pukes like this.Just wondering if there is anything legal that can be done

If the payment was sent through the us mail, it can be reported as mail fraud.

I always use PayPal for purchases.....That way you are protected and can get your $$ back if there is a problem with a seller....

Don't count on that. If the seller doesn't have any money in his/her account, you WON'T get your money back.

Look at his feedback,he had great feedback until I made the trade with him and I am not sure what happened to him but if a guy has 12 good feedbacks and still does you like this what do we have to believe in guys?I am not sure I will ever trade here again maybe just sell only and not ship until money is in my hand

You can report him to one of the mods.

And you can also call the police.

What about a time line here, describe the chain of events leading up until now.

Sorry but that's incorrect. They only cover ebay sales that way. For a non ebay sale, if there is no money in the account and the person tells his bank not to pay paypal then you're out of luck.

I would:
report him to the RCU mods
Call the cops
Go to his house and kick the ___ outta him . Or at least get your truck back or the truck you were supposed to get.

For any marketplace issues, contact the marketplace moderator, JWN and discuss your situation. I understand your frustration and I would certainly be angry too. I am going to pull any posts that suggest violence for forum rule reasons.
