$15,000.00 Rip Off

[fburke]

What is the name of your state? Ma


I ordered a bulk order from a wholesaler and paid by bank wire transfer.

2 weeks goes by and I have not heard from him, one of his voice mails is
full, the other always goes to voice mail and his email is full.

I did hear from him once saying he was having troubles with his order and
would refund my money and I said fine I also got this in an email.

His site did say something about no refunds unless it was his fault and
something about restocking fees. He never made good on his sale and he offered me a refund.

I have spoken with him 2 times and he keeps pushing me off now he won’t return my calls when I can get through.

All I am looking for is my initial investment. I am also out a few hundred
dollars in fees I have paid to refund people but I will eat this if I have
too.

Should I file a police report with my local police or his? (His business is in New York), should I contact the FBI because of the bank issue? Or should I sue him civilly for my initial investment + my expenses

All I want is my money. If he gets arrested I don't think I will ever see it.

I have all his emails and paper trail from the bank transfer, his receipt and email communications.

I did this to make a few bucks for my family now I am afraid I have lost a
chunk of my savings which was an inheritance from my grandfather.

Thank you

Call the police or DA's office in the town where the biz exists and see if they have any info on them. They will tell you if the biz has gone belly up or run (I did this once with an auto transport co. and was able to extract my money from their bank account before they could get it out).

You'll have to look up the limits for Small Claims vs. District Court in the state of the biz to file suit.

Just hope you can persuade them to get your goods or refund your $$$ without the pain.
