NEGATIVE FEEDBACK Scammed by 2000mustang (Mike Rhodes) SC - Ford Mustang Forums : Corral.net Mustang Forum

If you have the time all details are there. The scammer has been posting in there also but to sum it up I sent an item COD to this guy, post office drops it off with out picking up payment, and now guy wont send money and tells me to screw off.

I filed a claim with USPS but is there something else I can do? He clearly admits recieving the item without paying.

If the USPS claim does not pan out, you will likely have to file a suit civilly against him. Save all documentation including electronic communications.

I find it odd that you sent it COD and they just dropped it off. May have been a bonehead move to trust the guy but damn, I figured you would be a little bit protected with that COD. :shrug:

Thats what I figured, COD came with insurance up to $1k.

USPS Said 45 day waiting period or something similar.

I learned my lesson for sure!

Thanks for the advice

lol you like that?


I thought I did pretty good on posting all his info I could find. A little childish to play his games but I couldn't resist. If I never see the cash at least I got a good laugh I guess.

OP asked if there was anything else he could do. My advice was spot on detailing an option. If you believe $275 isn't worth pursuing then you could always paypal it to him and the OP would be squared away. :shrug:

What? You mean you would stop, turn around, and actually look for $275 if you dropped it?! lol

Funny stuff on the OP's link.. I would go with what svtcop mentioned. Its about the only thing you can do if USPS doesn't cover it with the insurance.
