Welcome to the learning curve. Next time, get ALL of his info. Call him at his home number and use Postal MO's for anti-fraud insurance.

How did you send it? First class, or priority? The mail is still screwed up from the holidays in some places. Are you still in contact with the buyer throughout this whole time? I'd give it till the end of the week. Best case, he didn't get it, you just go and suck up the fee to cancel the MO, and try again. Worst case, he scams you, and there are some (albeit few) options for recourse. |

I would run the trace, I had to deal with this awhile back, I thought the seller was shady when he kept saying he didnt get my money order. I ran a trace, turns out it was most likely stolen from my mailbox and altered, then cashed by a third party. I ended up getting both my items that I had paid for, and my money back from USPS for the stolen money order. |

oh yeah i know of a few dirty deeds done dirt cheap too. the seller is in phenix city, al. , i mapped it out and he is way out in the sticks. the main reason i went through with it is my gut said this guy is honest and hopefully its right.

Phenix, AL! Oh shit man! That's Ft.Bennings' whorehouse/saloon/pawnshop. Almost as bad as Columbus. Take heart and run your trace. Next time just remember to use USPS MO's and get all his info first.

yeah i think this guy is an army ranger or in the army. his avatar is a pic of him presumably in iraq in front of a saddam flag and his avatar on another forum is some kind of army ranger insignia.

+ 1,000,000 I sent out a rifle [ to an arfcomer no less ] on Jan 4th, priority mail. It just got delivered today. I had signature confirmation and the receiving post office did not log it in as per regs and my local post office could not even track it !! I was really thinking the thing was lost and then got the email saying it had arrived  rj |
