fkw$600+ is way too much to let slide...
Not having an experience like that yet. But I would contact the local cops and tell them the guy took 2 payment for 1 item and refuses to give your $$ back (show them the proof the package was signed for, and receipt of the MO). Then take the info from the cops and let him know you have gone to the authorities and plan on taking action. Maybe that will scare him a bit.
Hopefully you have his home address, you might be able to google it with the phone number info if you dont.
How far away does he live?
PS I always try to use emails for sales etc because then you have some type of record of exactly what he said (lies etc.). Unless you can record the phone calls or something.
Good luck, let us know how it turns out.
