Read this please –

I was so excited to find a less popular NFL player jersey on this website.

http://www.0595b.com/

I paid $40 for the jersey (a incredibly low price, usually $80). Normally I would recognize that the too good to be true scheme really was too good to be true, but I suppose in the heat of the moment I disregarded it and blew the money all away.

I have tried e-mailing the guy twice, the first time he told me it would take 5-7 days to ship. That was about two weeks ago.
Then a week ago I asked him what was up and he said the jersey was out of stock and he sent me a stock list (phony? – idk.)
But I looked at it and decided I didn’t want any jerseys and now I want a refund.
And conveniently, he hasn’t responded to my e-mails since then, even though his store has a refund policy.

It is pretty clear that his site is a scam, because I wrote a ton of bad reviews, and now they have been all deleted.

What do I do?

Well this guy wanted my xbox 360 on CraigsList… he emailed me asking if I could send it to his brother and he would pay the $400 I am asking for the 360, then cover shipping charges. I used to be a Ebay PowerSeller for years and always got paid through pay-pal… well I told the guy I would sell it to him but would have to wait till I transfered the money through pay-pal to my checking account… I had another pay-pal account but lost some info and was not able to add the same checking account because I had it added to my original account and can not have same checking # on two pay-pal accounts, thats why I mentioned like 3 days to transfer but all of a sudden I get a couple weird looking emails that say…

I am reading alot of the same things happening to other people… but everybody is saying the person has a Nigeria address… this is a New Jersey address… is this the actual address of this scammer ? Or how would he pick up package if I actually sent this out ?

Email came from… “service@paypal.co.uk”

another email was for his shipping info… Dear (PearlMaximaOn22s@RocketMail.com),We received a shipping update from Angelina Speed the buyer of your Craig’s List item(s): XBOX 360 ELITE.

Anyone want to take a road trip…Bring a couple louisville sluggers and get some practice in ? Should I email guy back and let him know I know what hes doing… or actually send a package {with rocks and dirt in it} and give him confirmation number
I checked pay-pal and there was no money in there… thats why I thought there was something wrong, even though that email says pending till I have shipping confirmation
