[QUOTE="doug444, post: 1837558, member: 38849"]"receipt with tracking information..." Sounds like it went through the mail. Supplying a non-existent tracking number "might" be a criminal act. You have nothing to lose by bringing in the Postal Inspectors. There's another thing the OP can do, worst case. Put the seller's name, address, phone, and email into a formal request for completion of the transaction, here, in CT. Then if a prospective employer (or someone conducting a background check for a professional license, etc., etc.) ever Googles his name, etc., this incident may show up ===== no job. Big price to pay for a $500 scam. StampBoards in Australia routinely does this with its few problem members. I'd also check the CraigsList "collectibles" ads in the website nearest his home, looking for similar ads; here's Indiana's CraigsLists: [URL='http://bloomington.craigslist.org/']bloomington[/URL] [URL='http://evansville.craigslist.org/']evansville[/URL] [URL='http://fortwayne.craigslist.org/']fort wayne[/URL] [URL='http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/'][B]indianapolis[/B][/URL] [URL='http://kokomo.craigslist.org/']kokomo[/URL] [URL='http://tippecanoe.craigslist.org/']lafayette / west lafayette[/URL] [URL='http://muncie.craigslist.org/']muncie / anderson[/URL] [URL='http://richmondin.craigslist.org/']richmond[/URL] [URL='http://southbend.craigslist.org/']south bend / michiana[/URL] [URL='http://terrehaute.craigslist.org/']terre haute[/URL][/QUOTE]
