I have also learned the hard way. If you have his phone number call the police in his area, if you can, or your local polices. Even if its a cell number they can see who owns it, find out where they live and go pay him a visit. Or you can do what I did and when the cop comes to get your report tell him to call the number a talk to the guy or leave a "your in trouble mister" message on his phone. After he call the guy, that took my parts and then his paypal payment didn't clear, he called me the next day and I went and got my parts back. The cop even called me back to make sure everything went fine. Nice happy ending

. It's a rough world and their are a lot of crappy people in it. Learn to live with it and get smarter about who you buy from, Good luck.
