What is acceptable?

I have had a few conversations with the police. One a very good friend and the fraud unit. The Fraud unit honestly states that these are buyer beware issues and it is up to the moderators etc. to police themselves.

I am sure they don't mean setting up a mock jury of course but if you look at ebay and other places they do not really involve the police in most cases is my understanding.

I know Ryan has been helpful in this case and I appreciate it. I don't have much leverage against pcpro except that I can make his info public and cause him a disturbance until he acknowledges the problem. He refuses to accept fault in this at all and only now that his life has been a bit inconvenienced did I have some leverage in getting him to share the loss.

This kid has been 100% uncooperative and would not share any of his info and he never offered to return any money to me. It is through the RFD community that I was able to get some info on him and make him sweat a bit.

they guy still lives at home with his mommy. Does no one live near this guy?

I have looked at the possibility of Small Claims court but it has to take place in the home City of the Defendant. That makes it unfeasable economically speaking for me given that even if I won I would have to take time off work and pay for gas etc to get to T.O.

You add the gas and the days work when taking him to court.

You think I can do that? I would be interested to know if that would work. Really though losing a day of holidays for myself and my girlfriend is quite a cost. Maybe it could fall under some other type of leave so we don't have to use vacation leave. I will have to see in the little gov't greenbook what that would fall under.

I did ask him for a refund and his response was "No Chance". That is the end of our communication so he is pretty much a p.o.s person in my books and I wish nothing but misery upong him

same city?

get a person who lives inTO, from RFD and offer them some cash to "represent" you. Don't have to be a lawyer, just someone who belives you envrio ... you paid $240 for the card, offer someone $75 to be your 'representative' ... haha... they get the money back and a cheque made to you and mail it that day or next.

That's what a friend in the US did. Got another of our friends to represent him in a similar case in London, ONT.

just a kid eh??

just a kid eh??

Well 21 or so would be my guess. So, tehcnically he is an adult but has the ethical integrity of a juvenile delinquent.

I spent an hour or so yesterday looking online at bring it to small claims court. There are some upfront fees for filing which I would have to pay and would possibly get reimbursed if I won but no guarantee. I really can't see me losing this case if it went to court. Honestly, the main and only reason I would do it is that this guy is such an irresponsible azz with ZERO moral character.

I just can't imagine him assuming a position of leadership or responsibility in this world and he is destined to be a deadbeat. If nothing else I would like to shake him up by going to court so maybe he can develop an ounce of self-worth and respect.
