Others can feel free to add to this...

First thing, make sure you have all your conversations saved, and have receipts of payment and of the product that you lost. If you have it, be sure to supply shipping numbers.

Then make sure that you tried to contact this person on numerous occasions. If you the deal was through SoundDomain, be sure to contact a moderator- Stemyluv69 member # 18430, ALL4SPL, member # 14883, teh wrath of zif member # 14856 or johan84 member # 28975. Also look for members in that area that may live near or know the person in question. If you know their last name and zip code, check www.whitepages.com and confirm address and phone #'s

If you get no response from the person, try calling the local police office in the area that you sent this person the product.

If you paid with a personal check or money order (bank or post office) go to them and have them trace the money order to find out who and where it was cashed. If you paid through Payapl, they will cover you up to $500 for tangible items. File a claim with Paypal.

If the item was purchased/sold on Ebay, file a claim with them also.

If all your channels have run out and you still have made no progress, file a claim with Internet Fraud Complaint Center or the Nation Fraud Information Center .

File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau in the event that it is a business.

Finally, MAKE A POST IN THE FEEDBACK SECTION, so others do not make the same mistake in dealing with this person

I am ALWAYS willing to help someone through this process, and in most cases, I am willing to enter as a neutral party. AIM-johan84us, email- johan84us@yahoo.com or member #28975 Feel free to hit me if you need help.

johan84, maybe you can incorporate some off this into your post:

The key is to determine a scam from a deal before sending money.

There is supposed to be a 1 there...I am about 15 minutes from Hope, and I have family that goes there. PM me or hit me on AIM with the details of the transaction, I can give you some advice as I have been through this too many times now.

Don't forget about cussing and threatening over the internet, oh and crying. Seems like those are the most popular choices around here. Oh, also, rally up a large group of people over the internet to also help you cuss, threaten and do nothing. That's also another popular choice. \:D

In all seriousness folks, the best theft recovery is theft prevention. Do a search on everyone you do a deal with and if you have ANY suspicion, DON'T DO THE DEAL. If you do that and get scammed anyways, contact the authorities and go through the proper channels. (the authorities will actually help you figure out what those are). Also, if it is on here, PM a mod and let them know so that they may be aware and hopefully stop the person from doing it again.
