  As I posted in the newsgroups, this guy had owed me $42 in TF video and toy merchandise since the end of December. It took three months, and I had to first write to his dad and then later tell him I would file fraud charges, before I got a refund of the money. I still want to report his activities to you, because of the lies he told me and the fact that I still lost $12 tracing the money order he claimed he never received. Here's a list:

  * Said he never received the money and wanted me to re-send it (so he could rip me off twice, I guess, but I traced the money order--cost an extra $12--and proved that he cashed it. He never did have an answer for that.)

  * Said he tried numerous times to e-mail me, but it always bounced (I can't really prove that's not true, but even so, why couldn't he have just sent the merchandise? Oh yeah, it's because then he said...)

  * He lost my address (if so, it was just ignorance on his part, because I sent it to him both by e-mail--and mine *didn't* bounce--and in the letter with the payment.)

  * He had a copy of the video he was supposed to sell me, but his friend opened it and took it home with him. Then he couldn't find another copy. (Whatever.)

  * He had the toy merchandise and would send it "as soon as he figured out the particulars of mailing it." He also said he was afraid to send it to a P.O. box, because it wouldn't fit in the box (geez, the post office would keep it behind the counter, and I can't believe he wouldn't know that. Two weeks later, I still hadn't received the stuff.)
