Sucks but it's the truth (at least here in socal)

And that just shows the sad state of the world we live in. It's the same here. Unless its high profile(rape,murder,violent crime of some sort) or a way to generate revenue(tickets,fines , etc.) they could care less.Someone broke into my car and stole some things(cell phone,radio, CD's) a couple years ago. It took 2 days to get an officer out to document the Damages so I could have a police report on file to get the info to my insurance company, but we have 5 patrolmen whos only job during fair weather seasons is to drive around with a ruler to measure the height of peoples grass inside the city limits so they can write citations to create revenue for our city..Yeah great world.. you can rip someone off but dont you dare let your lawn grow above 4 inches high!!!

again if enough people report him, they will have to do something. So I encourage EVERYONE who he has scammed to get in contact with his local PD. This kids gonna have to learn somehow, and it looks like its gonna have to be the hard way.

unless he has ripped people off for tens of thousands of dollars, no one cares. i once filed a complaint about internet fraud, the cop laughed and said sucks to be you, nothing can be done. This was for $3000. Now if someone swindled something from a mayor, they would go right to prison in a matter of hours. They magically will find him.

Again for like the 9th time in this thread, I had a guy try to scam me out of $250 (the guy was from Washington state) and when I contacted my local PD as well as his, BOTH jumped on it right away. I had the truck at my house 2 days after calling the police. His police Dept. even decided to file charges and he got 9 days in jail and 90 days probation. So I guess it all depends on whos working and what dept. it is. Also if they keep getting notified of the same person scamming people, sooner or later they will have to do something, wither its 50 cents or $500.

I'll add my experience also. I had a guy in Anchorage Alaska disappear on me after bad trade. Deal was worth about $300. He got my stuff but I never got his stuff and never heard from him again. I filed a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). About a week later I got a call from an FBI agent in Anchorage telling me I should be getting my stuff soon. About another week later my stuff showed up and the guy re-appeared again on the forums. Amazing what a knock on the door from the Feds will do (yes, the FBI agent went to this guy's house ).

The agent was very nice and followed up to be sure I got my stuff. He also explained how IC3 works. Once the complaint is filed it is dispatched to authorities with the proper jurisdiction - either or all of the following: your local police, scammer's local police, FBI. As someone suggested earlier, it is true. A lot of times it depends on who gets the case as to if it is followed up on. In my case, it went to the Anchorage FBI and a particular agent who decided he needed to know if this guy was small time or if he was part of a larger operation. Lucky for me. My scammer was small time but the local authorities had the resources to investigate it properly.

Anyway - my suggestion to anyone who has been ripped off on the internet is to file a complaint with IC3. It is a more effective way to log and document multiple complaints against the same person. If enough people file it should warrant an investigation.

Betcha 99% of the ppl that scammed are minors and scarred ?
To contact the local PD.

But again Contact the police pretty sure there are multiple things on him in the system by now.

He on here for a year now trying to scam, this serioulsy needs to stop.
*edit succesfully scammed*
