Right, I've filed with PayPal.

For any moderator reading this, I'm sure several of use would like his recorded personal details, IP details and also a log of his usage.

Hayden, if you're reading this thread, you'd better resolve this pretty soon. If you've got a good excuse, then fair enough. Otherwise be prepared for the authorities to come after you.

Your choice mate.

Can’t the mods stop him from signing up with the same ip? Cause he's done three separate for sale threads under different names already.

Paypal has credited me $190 after wating out the 10 day period. Report your theft early.

Good news. Let's hope that they not only refund us all, but also catch him (or her)!

It seemed real because I was really close to calling him.
I hope this helps.
The phone number is not listed and the postal code is non-existent, neither is the street (according to canadapost and telus reverse lookup). I hope you guys get your money back.

This is the first time i've ever had any problem with an online purchase and I've heard back from my credit card company.

They has given me "interim credit" while they are "proceeding with the dispute-resolution process".

They've been pretty quick about giving me back credit while this gets sorted out.

Hopefully they can track this guy through bank transactions or something.

A couple of things to note...

1) The credit you have been granted is temporary. They may yet find against you.

2) CC companies do not prosecute under a certain $ value...far above the combined losses on this board. Their lawyers probably cost $400 an hour.

3) File a police report. They can and may get in touch with your CC company to find the information on this guy. Record all case #'s and reference #'s as well as representatives names and dates of conversations. An organised complaint is more likely to be attended to properly.

4) If you wish to take the initiative, compile all info you can on the $ amounts and victims of this thief and report that to the police as well. The police's time and resources are (sadly) not spent wisely on one complaint of <$200. If there are many complaints, odds of any action taken increase.

no update here in a few days. paypal wait period is over for me. he never responded, but has since cleared out his account and they were unable to refund me any of my $65. he took the money and ran. doesn't look like i'll see the money again. paypal says they'll work to get in contact with his Bank. i don't know if $65 is a big deal, but I'm betting the sum of what he scammed from all of us is.

taking this as a learning experience. from now on i'll be a lot more cautious about buying things from head-fi or anywhere else online. hope the rest of you have better luck.

Any updates here guys? I'm curious to know how many of you (I'm hoping all) got your money back? Paypal or via credit card comp? I assume nobody found the scammer...

I never got my money back. I guess I acted too late and he had already cleared out his account.

I know a few people did however.

Sorry to hear that. I don't really get it, once the scammer gets the Paypal funds he/she immediately withdraws the funds and/or closes the account? How do they avoid accountability? Even if a stolen credit card is used to sign up, couldn't they just trace where the stolen funds went, be it to another Paypal account or a bank? It doesn't seem like it'd be difficult to follow the trail... are the confidentiality agreements the problem??

I got £22 back. £150 is still outstanding.

PayPal appeared to have made minimal efforts to resolve this. I'm going to write to them to ask for evidence that they have tried to get the git.

I'd like a copy of his PayPal registration details.
