deal is I sold him two gift cards on ebay and he paypal'd me $523 for both. now, right at 28 days from when he paid me I check my paypal account and instead of 400 bucks in there, I have -123. Turns out, after I call the guy that some one paid him with bogus funds and therefore paypal took the money away from him and also those he paid with it. whether or not that is true is what gets me. so where I messed up at is by just supplying him the GC # and security code and having not mailed it. so now they're saying without proof that I mailed it, I can't get reimbursed the 186 or 337 that he paid me. I have gone to best buy and they can tell me that the gift cards made a purchase on april 1st on bestbuy.com but I can't get the order # to provide proof that he got that sent to himself. say I do happen to get any of his info would anyone mind simply driving by the address I get to see if maybe I can just scare this guy into paying me back in the even I never hear back from him. Just be like so that's a nice and quote his car that he has....i don't want anything done to him at all...but this is just really making me upset cause I had just sold my z06 wheels and now all that money is taken out of my paypal account cause of this douche. sorry for the ranting, but just wanted to see if any guys there could help me out...it'd be much appreciated.

well the name that I was given is roger serrano, but when I call the # I have I don't think it says Roger on the answering machine so I dunno what his real name is if it isn't that one. For the paypal info it just has his company name too
after contacting the attorney general there, they told me to contact the police dept and gave me the phone #. I think when I call it says you've reached erin and derek maybe? if anyone wants to call and verify the # is 4075743626. thanks

lol. the gift cards have already been redeemed unfortunately tho. so if you just want to grab something of monetary value, some souvenirs or cash money or something...i still haven't a clue what his address is however. the contact info I got I assume is for his parents. which I called like 3 times now. I got someone to answer the phone but didn't say anything. I was like hello....hello....but nothing. So I got no clue. But yeah the info revealed a 59 yr old dood which I believe the guy I am dealing with is his son. Roger Serrano Jr. It all makes sense to me cause that doods ebay name is rsj09 - i figure the j is for junior. when trying to do a quick prelim background search I get 4 people found under roger serrano and they're all 25 with like 4-5 addresses. hrmm..so If I can get an address for junior I will for sure post it up for a visitation...

so an update, the individuals name is a Derrick Howie. He lives at the following address: 11021 Felton Ct, Orlando FL 32825 . Does anyone here happen to know where that is or might be close to it?
