What is the name of your state? NC
This was an internet scam begun by mother and son and possibly his wife. They auctioned scopes on two websites and sold many to a lot of people. Scam was detected but not before I sent them almost $6,000. I am guessing but I think probably they sold several hundred scopes which they didn't have. This was in October, 2005. IT was turned over to a Det. in Cookeville TN who has since sat on his butt and done nothing. A few people have received refunds, but nothing major. The website was closed and they no longer sell there, but wife has a new site and is selling knives again on it. USPS postal inspector was contacted and reports filed. The lady scammer used to work for local Cookeville PD. I was told by CAlifornia attorney to file Complacency charges against the Det. for not arrestting, etc. My question is what can I do as a resident of NC to get my money back or have the scammers put in jail and tried for illegal business practices. Seems that Cookeville PD along with the legal system there has been in a legal bind over many corruptions. Everyone seems to give us the run around including local DA, PD and Sheriff's office and even Attorney General's office. They say so much, but do absolutely nothing. No one has been tried, arrested or even questioned in custody. Think they are trying to keep stalling until statue of limiations takes over. Any help and where I might do or what I might do relative to this case. I am sure I can get others to go along with a class action in this matter. There are many states involved and the postal system was used to deliver all payments and they were in form of cashier's checks or USPS money orders and any scopes that might have been received were shipped via USPS priority mail and several phone calls were received both on my cell phone and business phone. Thanks with any help
