kneelingatlas Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I saw an ad for a rare pistol I've been looking for, contacted the seller, worked a deal and mailed off the MO; that was the last day I heard form him. For a month and a half I've been trying to reach him through multiple means and nothing. The PO shows the MO as cashed and it appears I'm SOL. I don't want to put out any details until I've exhausted all options in either getting my money or the pistol, but if anyone lives in or around Flemingsburg, KY please send me a PM as you may be able to help.

The_Vigilante Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Was it a USPS money order? If yes, contact the Post Office Investigative Unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Call the Poilce Department in Flemingsburg, KY. They may help you or at least verify the sellers address etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRider Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Sic the postal inspector on them. A friend of mine had a similar thing happen, went to the Post Office and got them involved. He wound up getting his money back, but it took a little while. Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitedog Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Contact USPS. They will investigate. You will get yer money back. And if possible they will prosecute. I'm a USPS employee...and the system, in this case, works. They take this seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Stevens Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I have been in phone contact with the OP since I live near the town in question. Things are apparently moving toward a solution. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneelingatlas Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Many thanks to Gary for is offer to help, but with any luck I won't need it. Shortly before writing this thread, I emailed the seller again warning that if I did hear back I would be filing reports with the authorities; amazingly enough all my emails came through at once! He had a story why I didn't have my gun and I've given him a week to come to an acceptable resolution. To be continued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneelingatlas Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) I filed a complaint a week ago with the Postal Inspection Service and emailed the Chief of Police in Flemingsburg, but have not heard back from either. At this point I would be surprised to see my money again.If you ever run across this guy it's probably best not to do business with him: ** Edited October 14, 2013 by sperman Removed Seller Info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
