What would you do in this instance please

I may have waited for him to take the initial action instead of giving him a refund. He should have filed a claim....then you could have presented your evidence that he has the card. I have never sold anything but have bought plenty with E-Bay and PayPal.

Bottom line.....its sad that this happened. If he's a crook then he'll get whats coming to him........sometime, someplace.

My friend when dealing with a crook you have to take bold steps.

1. Does he sell items on his account? If so I would threaten him with destroying all of his auctions and BIN'S.

2. Well thats about it, good luck getting your justice.

Police reports (at least in NY and SF) have to be filed in person.
So file a report in your venue and you can then forward it to his police station.
I speak from experience in this matter.

The Post Office always scans the black insured delivery label for insured packages under $200. You can purchase a return receipt for a couple of bucks. This is a postcard sized card that is attached to the package, and the package cannot be delivered without a signature. Another way to get a signature is to insure the package for $201 dollars, which costs a little more, but you always get a signature with the blue label insured parcels.

It is extortion in CA to threaten to report someone to the cops if he doesn't pay.

I've been in this situation before for clients and have been told by my local PD that the best thing to do is file the report with your local PD and have them contact the PD in the crook's town. The foreign PD will accord a lot more respect to a fellow cop's inquiry than yours.
