Ok Shame on me.. I think I got Scammed

[collecture]

Sorry you are being jerked around John! Been there too - not fun!
Greyhound doesn't deliver to your door anyway. You need to pick the package up from the closest terminal.
I shipped a C-51 ammo belt to S. Carolina through GH once and was able to track it somewhat - kind of like the USPS tracking, which isn't worth much.

My town closed there Grey hound station so we have to check in with bus line and get an aprox. time of day to meet bus down town and grab the package. I think you just got run around again good luck.

I hate to be the negative one here but the whole greyhound story is BS.  From what I read here, but especially on oldgas, there are no items coming.  This guy is a %100 scumbag con artist.  I think from what I've read your best bet is to file a complaint through the post office and get him on mail fraud.  Hopefully the fact that mail fraud is a federal offense may be your best shot at really nailing this guy.

        When I buy a machine and flip it for $1000.00 profit, I am jazzed for a few days........maybe weeks.

        But when I lose that same $1000.00 on a deal, I'm pissed for a few weeks.....maybe months 

        John, you're still way ahead. I say pick yourself up, brush yourself off.......and on to the next venture.

Moondawg, I think that is good advice as far as not letting it bother him anymore but I feel this guy needs to be stopped.  If everyone just wrote it off he will keep getting away with it and more honest people will get burned.  I think at this point consider the money gone but do everything you can to nail this piece of sh**

[SIGNGUY]

Yeah I know but I just can't let it go...

honestly , losing the $$ is not really bothering me as much as someone screwing with me.. that is what really Pisses me off (excuse my French)..

so I'm not letting it go.. I actually am enjoying trying to go black ops on this guy and will file the sheriffs report this afternoon and continue to hunt him down... I guess I have a bit of Vigelante in me and can't seem to let that go... but short of hopping a jet to San Jose, I'll see what I can do on my end along with the other guys who got hosed..

As far as the greyhound thing.. I know it's not door to door and there is a station in my home town and that is where it is "SUPPOSE" to be coming to.. but we'll see on that.. I've already called and text the guy about Tracking numbers to no avail.

Glen , I appreciate the advice but I still got a little fight in me yet.. we'll see..

       Was watching American Greed the other night.  They said that scammers get away with it longer than they should because most victims are to embarrasaed or ashamed to report it to police.

Apparently he is shipping them via Greyhound Package Express...

I have never used this before and thought and asked the same thing for a tracking number..

he said the only way to track them is by him calling since he bought the "ticket" and they don't provide a tracking number..

so I'm going to call on that today unless anyone else has any insight on how the Greyhound Package Express works?

 



Ok, I just checked on Greyhound Package Express and they do have Tracking numbers you can track,, so Now I'm back to worring again.. I just texted him to send me the #'s and he texted back, they will be there by Saturday.  HMMM

I've shipped via Greyhound for a customer, they DO provide a tracking number once they check in the package, HE should provide you with that number & YOU can check at the receiving end at your local Greyhound terminal it's shipping to.   Tell  (rhymes with YELL) him you want that number NOW.  then depending on his response, you may or may not be contacting the police regarding fraud & theft charges, and use of a computer to commit a crime. ( wire-fraud)  Next time, please use Craigslist for local (IE: within driving distance) purchases only. I hope all will end well for you.

That sucks John! 

I hate scammers; nothing but a bunch of low life scumbags!!!
