fishbites Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I just want to know what's wrong with people these days. A few weeks ago I had posted that I was looking to buy a reel that I was going to be giving to my daughter as a Christmas present. She wanted a Stradic 3000fi just like dads. So I started hunting one down and had a guy get ahold of my saying he had one I asked for pics which he sent and the reel looked nice I then asked address an phone number. I talked to him and we agreed on a price and that I would send a postal money order with tracking and signature required. I checked and the package was delivered and he signed for it. Now he's saying that it was never delivered. Now when I try to call the phone isn't working. How can people do that to someone. Now I look like crap to my daughter and I'm out my money. I would like to add that this one no one from this site. I'm sorry everyone I just needed to vent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDubbs Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 go to the post office and tell them what happened ... better yet you have his address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clambellies Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 go to the post office and tell them what happened ... better yet you have his address Talk to the Post Master, you have the receipt for the postal money order, they can check if he cashed it, you can then take action and threaten him with Postal fraud, or even talk to the cops in his town. I wouldn't let it slide too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanic Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 How much $ are you taking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matador Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 This one is easy, as the two previous posters have advised... go to the USPS where you purchased the M/O with the receipt as the Postmaster will need to look up if it has been cashed or, better yet, deposited into an account. Once they confirm this, tell them you want to report federal fraud ASAP, the USPS fed agents will knock down his door in no time. Some paperwork filled to validate you HAVE NOT received the promised merchandise, no mess & they will get your money back in a few days.

Spotburnhater Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 You should do all that was mentioned! Chances are he is a smart criminal and has done this many times. Still if it takes one scumbag off the streets then do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
612fisherman Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 You need to file a claim with the PO. From the USPS website: Lost or stolen? We’ll replace a lost or stolen money order for a fee. Just complete and submit PS Form 6401 Money Order Inquiry, available at your local Post Office™. Once we’ve completed a payment inquiry on the status of the money order, we’ll issue a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fille9 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 I for one would like for this young lady to see her Christmas wish come true. I found on line a dealer with one reel left. This reel is discontinued so few dealers if any have them. I will put up the first $100.00. Now I need 7 men to put up $10.00 each and then I can send this girl her reel. I know the response will be really great so I will take the first 7 members to respond... Phil M. deckertje 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
