Scam Question

Well I think I proved it 100% now. I did a phone number search on the number and it came back as Nathan Ronald ***. And listed as a relative is Ronald ****. It's the guys son, and it shows the same address I mailed the money order to.

If the person on the phone lied to you about how long they had the # maybe the Dad scammed you.

So I think tomorrow morning I'm gonna post on the company site that he is co owner of and tell people how he or his son scammed me of $600. I don't know whether it's slander or not but they stole from me. Plus I live in MA, don't think they will open a slander case.



Also the current address of the son is the same as the fathers. Plus I sent the dad the address and the number to the father on Facebook, I think he would have recognized his sons number.

The grammar (or lack thereof) was a dead giveaway.

It's been 6 years - I think you should drop it AND forget about it. This should be about how it affects YOU, not him. If you are feeling a lot of angst over it, and can't possibly get satisfaction, it isn't worth it. You can't prove anything at this point, since you sent him a money order 6 years ago, but anything that you do at this point, to him, will have a trail. Drop it.

Scott,
You're right. But I think considering the reverse phone number came back to HIS SON. Who lived at the same address I mailed the check to and he now lives with his father. And when I showed his the number and address he said nothing but he only visited Daytona beach.

Plus the collector who bought the item just remembers him being scruffy. I'm sure he would remember if the kid he picked up the item from was only 18 years old.
