I've been robbed - help wanted

[coxeymcqueen]

Hello,

Well someone has used my ebay/paypal to buy a $320 mobile phone. The payment also took me overdrawn and the bank has charged me £60 ($120)

I've contaced my bank who have refunded the overdraft charges and I've also contacted paypal. I'm pretty confident that I'll get the money back but,the thing is, I've got the name and address of the person that the phone was sent to (in Colorado).

I've contacted the local police here in the UK but they aren't interested. Is there an organisation in the US that I can contact? Part of me will just be happy to get the money back but at the same time knowing that I have the address of someone who has been involved in a fraud really riles me.

Any suggestions welcomed...

You could report it to the local police in the area (or the Federal police if its a Federal crime), but there really isn't much more you could do about it. Its not like you are going to fly there and sue the person for conversion for $400US!

Well, no, I'm not exactly going to be knocking on his door but it seems daft to have the name and address of someone who is involved in a fraud (even if they are unaware of it) and not do anything about it...

Alternatively you could buy one of the WASP Injection Knives, fly over their and explode his ass!

I'm not sure but this might be of some help.

Oh my ****. That would be TERRIBLE.

One word if you have his mailing address....


Anthrax.

 

[TheDarkReaver]

Ooh, you could wait till next year and send him a letter saying "I know what you did last summer".

 

[SpankyPants]

But what if he likes that band?


You should send him something that everyone hates... like Kenny G.

 

[Marlat]

Sign him up to a whole bunch of porn spam mailing lists etc.

Ooooh, I like that idea. You can do a lot with a name and an address.
