Sorry to hear about your loss, Bro. That sucks.

On a slightly positive note there is some great info. here in this thread. Some of it would make a perfect fit in this discussion: https://www.i-club.com/forums/random-thoughts-off-topic-17/insider-info-tricks-trade-68683/

he is actually sending me the stuff back because the MO's were bought through the bank and he ended up not having enough in his acct or something+the shipping and bounced check charges I got. Whatever the story is Im just happy Im walking away with something. Anyone need some EDMs?

let this be a lesson to you all!
I will beleive it when you get your money back.
pkg re-routed+canced MO+dead phone number = BAD

Too many phishy variables to beleive it.

still sounds fishy.....when a money order is bought through a bank the cash is withdrawn ON THE SPOT....No banks issue money orders without the cash paid in advance...

sounds to me that he is making up excuses because he got caught trying to scam someone and realizes that he can't get away with it, so just give everything back before getting in serious trouble

i was going to say the same thing. why would he give you an address that's not even legit?

at this point he still has your $1300 worth of goods right? i'd report this to the police. give them the guys number. i bet with enough research you can find out where he lives. this way, if you don't get your stuff back by the end of the week you can have a police officer or someone accompany you there. it's just all too shady.
