    A detective was definitely involved. He for sure communicated with me before and after I was refunded. He was extremely helpful and in my opinion, the only reason refunds were sent.

    Yeah, i didn't say it's not a big deal. I'm just shocked that authorities bothered with it. They sure wouldn't in my neck of the woods. But if they did get into it, that's great. Are charges being laid then?? Or did the cops just tell the guy to refund the money and give him a stern talking to. :tongue:

    I still can't believe this member hasn't been banned, lol.

    No idea, I have a feeling he may have been arrested.

    Just wanted to give my two cents. Before these last few posts above, I was going to say the police wouldn't get involved, but if they did, great. I'm a detective and it would be extremely difficult for a local PD to coordinate with several victims in several different jurisdictions over a few bad internet transactions. Usually it's ebay or a Paypal that will make the victim whole. Generally, there would have to be a police report generated by each victim. For example, it would be difficult for me to talk to a victim in Michigan, who paid for a service, that originated in Iowa. And with the amount lost, though it sucks, wasn't thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, yes, the amount of money lost does effect the response of Police. I would assume it wasn't a local police department that someone talked to. It had to be FBI or more likely, companies have their own loss prevention/fraud detectives. But at least where I am, the FBI don't get involved unless the dollar amount is over $50k or so.

    All that being said, it was obviously a scam, guy is a liar and paniced when people called his parents. I'm not saying to do that, but I bet if that was to keep happening u all would get more of a response from this guy and make his world a little harder. He didn't expect his friends and family to get contacted. Wasn't part of his plan. - Det. Pledge a Grievance

    9 of us filed reports with the OP's local PD and the local detective stayed in touch with us

    After the PD got involved and we received refunds from the OP

    Not sure why everyone is doubting the PD's investigation/involvement

    As mentioned in another post, its a small town so I'm sure that helped

    Perhaps someone, we'll call the individual Anonymous, hacked into his back account and withdrew the funds that were meant to cover the refunds?

    The shear nerve of this Anonymous hacker. I mean, really,...

    Yikes this is too bad. Was it denied by the bank for lack of funds or did he put a stop on the refund through his bank? This guy must be dying to steal money, seems like a lot of effort when you've been caught.
