what kind of crime is this?

[rob916]

for those who saw these classifieds adds and thought no way to good to be true you guys were smart... but to the guys blinded by the fact that they just wanted the fish so bad haha sorry...

this is what happens i think it happends a lot.. the guy post these deals says to send paypal money to this email johnallacowling@gmail.com and says that he will ship the fish and never does.. and he pockets the money without sending the fish...

i was just wondering what kind of crime is this? and can you get in trouble? if so how because i could get a lot of info on this guy haha...

internet fraud?

Depends on where the transaction was done... some times you can take it to your local police to try and sort out, or to paypal if it was done on E-bay...

Other options would be to talk to your bank to see if they can do a charge back if you paid by credit card through Paypal...

Although none of these methods are guaranteed, and can be a bit of a P.I.T.A... i've seen people on other forums lose large chunks of change due to internet scammers...

But yeah, as for what crime it is... its internet fraud straight up...

^ I'm going to guess victim...

Seen this play out many times before... and honestly, if you have all his info, and can actually prove he did such a crime, i would highly suggest trying to contact his local PD to see if they can offer any help or advise...
