During the summer (May) I dealt with a guy that sold me electronics in NY (I was there visiting my parents). Throughout the summer we built up more of a friendship while trying to do business. So in June he asks me if he can use my paypal account to accept a payment from a woman for a deposit on 100 ipods. He said she would send $2500 into the account. So I trusted him and said okay. He then got the money but never gave her any ipods. So she went after him with detectives and got a warrant for his arrest. They both met and came up with a payment plan, he would pay her a certain amount per month until the balance was depleted. He defaulted on those payments. She cant find him and I cant get into contact with him...so she came after me. I got a summons that says Failure to Provide Goods for $2500. She is trying to serve me in NY but I live in IN. The transaction happened through paypal and no address is listed except hers. I have a receipt from him and emails from her, telling me about the situation between him and her. Does the court even have jurisdiction? What can I do?
