I had a good comeback/smart a$$ remark, but will refrain. If I bought a car, and it wasn't as advertised, i would try to re-negotiate the price, if that didnt work I would demand a refund. If that didn't work here's what my lawyer told me to do.
Right now internet fraud is one of the biggest, fastest growing types of fraud in the world. Governments are being pressured to do something, so legislation is being accelerated to protect YOU. Your state attorney generals office is the place to turn. They will prosecute these things, with a vengence.

1, If ya paid with a postal m/o, he committed mail fraud, and the US government has more power than any lawyer. Get the receipt, take it to the post office, and fill out the paper work, they will take cqare of the rest.

2. If ya paid by credit card, and the guy wont refund some money, call them and contest the payment, they will pull it fom his account, without him having any power to stop it, unless he cleans out his account.

3. Contact your local courthouse, they will get you in touch with the right people.

4. CAll your states attorney general. Have all emails, copys of the ad, if it is posted on a website, and proof of payment. Take pictures of the problems, and print them to give as evidence.

5. Do all communications by email, keep track of them, print them off everytime ya get a response. Phone converstations are tough to prove, unless you record them.

6.Dont beat them up on a message board. If ya get petty, call names, out them, or what ever, it could be detrimental to your credibility.

7. Call his local sheriff's department, be polite, but cry like a baby, tell them ya got taken advantage of. They must make a report, and contact him. Trust me when a sheriff shows up, and questions him about internet fraud, you will get his attention.

There are websites, hundreds of them, dedicated to this growing problem, do a google search and do your homework, be prepared, Like Judge Judy says, It's your job to prove it, not hers!

Dont buy anything from this board or any, unless ya do some research into the persons credibility. ASK questions about the guy befor ya buy. If ya get pressures to buy without doing research until you satisfied, let it go,anyone serious about selling something, and has a good rep, will give ya time.Just because someones been a member of a board for a while, doesn't mean he's not capable of this type of act. Desperate people do desperate things, their personal circumstance at that time, may cause people to do things they would never even consider any other time in their life, but thats not a reasn to rip someone off intentionally.
