Keep it up mate. You'll have to fight your way through, but there's good chance the result will be in your favor.
Don't forget you can always escalate this to court if needed, which would at least give you all the information about that thug.

Capital, best of luck to you. It should be ok, you have enough evidence that points to a scam.

Awful what happened to you, very best of luck getting it solved. That said, if you are keeping your "hoes" up then you're probably a luckier man than I ;-)

Hope you get it sorted.

Ha ha they are all standing at attention for me!

I stopped reading at gift... I don't feel sorry for you. Next time use your brains. If anyone gets mad at this I'm sorry but I can't take people that fall for sh@t like this anymore. It's like the rubes on eBay.

It probably took you longer to type that than read his original post.

Just another example of posting without reading/knowing the whole story. I do it sometimes. It sure can derail a thread.

I do hope this gets resolved for you, keep us updated and let us know as things happen.:sub4me:

Jump on a plane, and take care of this in person.

I'm mad reading about this I can't imagine how you must feel.
Hate people like this

You obviously don't know how banks work, they have no jurisdiction on another bank's policies, once the amount is approved and received, its in the other bank's hand.. :lol1: no one can just remove money from another bank account without authorization from the account holder.

+1. I was reading through this thread from the beginning and was about to write the same thing. Putting money into an account is easy. Taking it out... not so much (which is as it should be.) Let's not get anyone's hopes up with bad information and bad advice.

And good luck to the OP!

propane cylinder ?

If he mailed that from Canada into the U.S. that is transporting hazardous material thru the mail without proper documentation...that's a federal offense...

 

[trailboss99]

I've filled out that exact form many many times shipping watches to the US and have never been asked for ID.

There is a different form for international expidited and have never been asked for ID on that one either.

Then the PO is not doing it's job. Any international mail requiring a CN22 is not supposed to go without ID being sighted unless you are personally known to the staff in which case they tick a box stating they know you and warrant the details as correct.

FWIW...years ago I bought 2 items from one eBay seller (combined shipping) and he only sent one. I did the whole paypal dispute thing. Paypal looked no further than the DC# that pulled up as "delivered" and sided with the seller. Fortunately they were low$ items.

So this guy is seasoned at this scam. Surprised he is still breathing...Some people will do extreme thing over money...especially when they are ripped off like this.

FWIW...years ago I bought two items from the same eBay seller (combined shipping) and he only sent one. I did the whole paypal dispute thing. Paypal looked no further than the DC# that pulled up as "delivered" and sided with the seller. Fortunately they were low$ items.

 

[capital10]

I don't think he meant it was the same person I dealt with, just that he bought 5 items from one eBay seller

Correct. I should (did) reword that. I know that story is not what you wanted to hear but it happens.

 

[sub4me]

Theres no ID required from the USA to send to Canada, just a customs form to fill out a to and from kinda thing, contents of package, and declared value thats it and off it goes.

 

[Wacker23]

lol

Lol.

 

[capital10]

UPDATE**

Well it took 30 days and lots of time on hold with Paypal but the money was returned to me.

Just thought I'd update the thread to close out the experience

Thanks for all the well wishes
