Doug, I have PM'd you and again, my reply was to TolietPotymouth... and truly for being an adult, there were a lot smarter ways to approach this situation without making over 5 different threads about the same topic of crazx2lvr44 scamming you. This guy is a lowlife and none of your numerous threads is going to shame him into returning your money. You need to talk you your local law enforcement agencies about your loss and to persuade all legal avenues. Most will not cost you a cent. And it does seem that with all of your public posts, you've gotten many people rightly upset and some have even volunteered to visit this Eric in person on your behalf. That is not at all productive. Stop the public posts and file legal charges against him before this guy decides to bail out on where he lives at currently and moves to somewhere where you can't find him.

I am truly sorry for your loss, but reading all of your 5+ threads about this situation is just giving me a headache now. Use the legal system, that is what it is there for. Internet fraud is something that the authorities want to put a stop to, but you need to take the first proper steps and start filing official reports on this guy. If you were to fly into Pittsburgh for a friendly discussion with this Eric guy, you would still need your police reports and documentation in order to prove to the Pittsburgh authorities that you have a rightful claim to this money. You need to lay down this foundation right away. Having a good paper trail of documentation is all important, not making all of this posts.

And Doug, I don't think that I owe you an apology. I have tried to help and in one of your threads, I asked you how you paid for the motor, but you never replied to me in that thread or by PM. All you did was go and start fresh threads on the same subject.
