If this guy is ripping people of, what they need to do is go online and "google" mail fraud. There is a form there to fill out and sense the activity was conducted through the US mail, it is mail fraud.
There are three or four different gov. agencies that will then be involved.
It is a gray area with the local police because they will say the buyer needs to contact their local police, and when you do that, they will say you need to contact the local police where the seller lives. So the police dept will do you no good.
Best bet is to file a claim with the postmaster general under mail fraud.
I filed a mail fraud claim on a bonehead 4 years ago, and even though it took some time, they shut him down for good.
