What is the name of your state? CA
Hi,
I recently made an agreement with someone for a set of golf clubs through a golf forum. The set was for $600. After numerous emails, i agreed to send the guy a Money order to Midlothian TX, which is a suburb of Dallas. I am in Southern California.
I sent the money order via express mail the next day. He received it and said that he will send the clubs out right away.
I never received the clubs. After emailing back and forth numerous times, he agreed to make a claim on the clubs (he said he got insurance on them)..
a week later, i asked him about the status of the claim. he answered that he would just refund my money via money order and he would settle the claim on his end. i said thanks, and expected the money order.
i have not received the money order at all. I have tried contacting him, but he refuses to answer my phone calls, and doesnt answer his emails. I sent letters, which were not answered as well.
I had a money order inquiry sent, and received the response with a photocopy of both sides of the money order, including his endorsement. I also received a copy of the signiture for the express envelope i sent him with the original money order. I have since submitted a mail fraud compliant form, which i have yet to hear the results of.
i have detailed copies of all correspondence between us, including personal messages on the golf forum, and all emails. Also have copies of the money order, receipts, etc.
How can I get my money back? Can I sue this guy? what are the steps involved? If i have to travel to his state to sue him, can i sue him for the expenses as well (plane/hotel)? Can I sue him from my home in CAli? how about costs of pursuing the matter (like costs of money order/money order inquiry/time/etc)....i have a sister in dallas, tx.. can she sue him on my behalf? or can i transfer my authority to some in dallas or something?
Thanks in advance!
