Default AAutomotive: fraud,scammer - help!

This is my second warning concerning this scammer. He took my son for
$600.00 hard earned dollors. After my first posting, he actually PM'ed me
back claiming a mistake had been made and he would make good on his
bad deeds. Alas, he is nothing more than a dishonest scammer.

I have his phone number, address, and e-mail address. I also have a
copy of the money order and the fact that he cashed it. Any suggestions
as to legal action that can be taken against this scum or should I chalk
this up to experience? I would appreciate any suggestions and of coarse
avoid this individual like the plague.

Thanks,

i think if you have his phone number and adress. verify that they are indeed real. if they are...ill take his ass tor court for committing fraud..period...theres alot of scams out there...one has to be rather really thoughtful before making a transaction, especially when it involves a rather large amount of money...

btw u posted it in the wrong forum!

ps. to prevent from that happening again try using paypal...and make transactions with people that are "paypal verified". In order to be verified you have to give paypal personal information and even a bank account. so they do that to prevent paypal users from scams.

Seriously, contact the FBI, internet fraud is a very serious offense and they are cracking down hard.
