This guy is a dirt bag. If he already filed a claim with UPS then I'd, at a minimum, I would alert UPS to this scam. This $hitbag deserves everything he has coming to him. It's people like him that totally screw up things for everyone else. If UPS had to pay out $10K+ for this you know who's going to pay for it.... all the other consumers. For all you know this guy could be a total con. Why let him get away with this. He needs a good beat down by the authorities. Maybe, just maybe he'll learn his lesson.
Do you know why you received an immediate refund via paypal? Because the guy is a thief and he knew he was caught. He's probably praying that you just let this go. Do you think he'll learn a lesson from this? NO - if he gets away with it he'll think he can pull the scam on someone else because he got away with it.
It took years to finally prosecute that idiot "Crazy Canuck" $hitbag and it was worth the effort and time to do it because he's no longer screwing people.
This board deserves a pat on the back for the effort that resulted in this positive outcome.
Leon, perhaps you could create a new categorey called CAVEAT EMPTOR and allow the community to post the names of bonafide dirtbags (ebay sellers, etc) that need to be avoided. I would say that the list should be reserved for only those that are absolute buttheads.
