:woo: Now, I will do whatever it takes to bring her down, regardless of time or expense! :johnwoo2:
My scam happened on Ebay auction #1218595784 NR-ThinkPad T21 Divorce Forces Sale from Jean (Jackie)
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1218595784&r=0&t=
Here is the information I have so far:
Name(s): Jean Fore or Jackie Fisher
User ID name(s): Divorcegotme2
Email address: [email protected]
She claimed to be the IS Manager at Betterbilt in PA. She did not provide this to me, but here is the company information:
MI Home Products Inc. (Betterbilt)
650 West Market Street
Gratz, PA 17030
(717) 365-3300
http://www.betterbilt.com
:confused: If you have been a victim of fraud to Jean (Jackie), please take the time to do the following 10 actions: :deal:
1) File a complaint with the auction, website, or payment site the fraud took place at. In my case, I have submitted a complaint to both Ebay ([email protected]) and PayPal ([email protected]).
2) If available, file for insurance. For example, after you file a complaint with Ebay, you may file for $175 insurance by filling out the claimform at: http://pages.ebay.com/services/safeharbor/frs-claimform.html
Please be sure to include all of the following:
The completed Lloyd's of London Claim Form.
A copy of the end of auction notice or the auction page.
Proof of payment, i.e., photocopy of the front and back of money order, cashiers check, personal check, etc.
Any other supporting documentation
Once you have compiled the above, please mail to:
Lloyd's Claims Administrator
24825 Little Mack
St. Clair Shores, MI 48080
An insurance carrier receives the claim, reviews the documentation, assign a claim adjuster, and contact you regarding your claim usually within 90 days of the receipt of the above documents. You will then be provided with a contact email for the claim adjuster assigned to your case. You may address any questions regarding the claim directly to the claims adjuster assigned to your case.
IMPORTANT: If your payment was issued via your credit card through an on-line payment service, such as Paypal or Billpoint, eBay's insurance company may ask you to first contact your credit card company and file a "chargeback" or some other dispute form before they begin processing your claim. Since that possibility exists and since many creditors have deadlines for such actions, you are encouraged to take this extra step as early as possible.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Ebay at email [email protected]
3) Contact Charlie Goodloe, Police Detective in Murfreesboro, TN at work phone (615) 893-1311 or email [email protected] Charlie is currently investigating this case.
4) File a complaint with the internet fraud complaint center at https://www.ifccfbi.gov/.
5) Send the below form to: William E Pollard, Jr. U.S. Postal Inspector at [email protected] or fax (615) 377-6591. He is currently investigating this case. You may also go to http://www.usps.com/postalinspectors/fraud/welcome.htm and file the on-line complaint form at:http://www.usps.com/postalinspectors/fraud/MailFraudComplaint.htm

I think I was the victim of a scam. Can I get my money back?
Federal and state laws prohibit unfair or deceptive trade acts or practices. If you think you've been cheated, immediately let the appropriate government offices know. Although any government investigation will take some time, these agencies often have the resources to go after unscrupulous merchants. Law enforcement in the consumer fraud area is poor in some parts of the country, but many hardworking investigators do their jobs superbly. The more agencies you notify, the more likely someone will take notice of your complaint and act on it. Unfortunately, government agencies are rarely able to get you your money back. If the business is a reputable one, however, it may refund your money when a consumer fraud law enforcement investigator shows up. It certainly can't hurt you to complain.
How can I file a complaint for fraud?
The National Fraud Information Center can help you if you've been defrauded. NFIC provides:
Assistance in filing a complaint with appropriate federal agencies
Recorded information on current fraud schemes
tips on how to avoid becoming a fraud victim
Direct ordering of consumer publications in English or Spanish
