What is the name of your state? WA
Hope someone can advise on this situation. I'll start by saying, yes i was stupid. I posted an ad on CraigsList and met a buyer using one name (I won't use it, I'll just call her Jane). She asked to pay through a United States Postal Service Money Order. I said sure and received an email supposedly from the USPS stating that the money order would be mailed within three to five business days and that it was alright to go ahead and ship the computer so I did.
Needless to say I have not received the money order. I still have all the emails from the buyer as well as the email that was supposedly from the USPS. What can I do? I think I can take Jane to small claims court, but i also have the address I shipped the computer to. Can't i just go and get the computer back with the cops?
Thanks!
