dan mckeeHere I go again. I think I am a crook magnet or I have "STUPID" engraved on my forehead! I need some help, opinions, info. I have heard of board members contacting local authorities but I do not know who to call or contact.
I struck a deal off of ebay for 26 items that were similar to the 1 that was sold on ebay. The deal was $4060.00 for 26 items. The seller's son-in-law is actually who I am dealing with. I promptlty sent the money and he cashed my check immediately. Here is where it gets strange. He actually communicates with me but is from another planet.
He constantly assured me that the items were already shipped when they were not. He flat out lies about actually shipping them several times. I have a local lawyer send him a letter and then he finally ships 1 box with just 10 of the 26 items in it. Also, the 10 he sent were glued to wood backings unlike the 1 in the picture.
It has been almost 7 weeks now and he has the other 16 items and my $2500 for them. He keeps promising to refund me but I am just sick of the lies and deceipt. Can I file small claims in Maryland and have him come to me? Do I call his local Sheriff's department or DA? Any help is greatly appreciated. My goal is to get the $2500 back for the 16 items he hasn't sent.
This board has helped me greatly with far worse situations so once again, I am in need of some guidence. Many thanks Dan.
