[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1]Did a little search and found this, almost worth the $2.95 the paper wants to view the whole article. This guy got 11 plus years, hope you like men Anthony!!!!!!!

Article 171 of 279

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1]Internet scam adds up to a stiff prison term[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1]Date: June 15, 2004 [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1]
By taking relatively small amounts from customers buying car and airplane parts over the Internet and then never providing the items, D. Mark Pentrack piled up the relatively big amount of $222,000, prosecutors say.On Monday, the Salt Lake City man learned he'll pay a big price for his scam. U.S. District Judge Dee Benson sentenced him to more than 11 years in prison and ordered the term to begin after Pentrack completes two years behind bars for a violation of his release...[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1]Now I cant read the whole article but by searching this guys name it seems in 1985 he was a radio DJ and got popped for CC fraud. Guessing he broke parole by getting caught with this scam.

Regardless of what you guys confront him on, get your money back or not, don't let this guy think he dodged a bullet, TURN HIM IN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1 on still going after the guy even if he does refund the money. It probably won't be long and he will be trying to pull stuff like this again if you just let him off with refunding. Although, I don't believe you guys will see any refunds, he probably already spent that money on his car.

Exactly.

A turd that stuffed himself in a pink Barbie car, works at ToysRus, that you KNOW is reading this thread, shows up to the "meet" anyways...LOL.....and walks away with intentions of thieving some more for lack of fear of ramifications.

Internet tough guys: Hey you owe people money for parts that you didn't ship

Kid: I'm going to pay it back

Internet tough guys: Oh ok, have a good day

I got my local pd getting hold of nj pd, and FBI. This is grand larceny and thieft by deception, money laundering just to name a few, these are felonies. I will take this all the way until I get my money back. I have been fairly nice to him through email hoping he will just pay. Now I am going to drive the point home. Dude you still got a chance to make it right. I want 200$ refunded in my paypal by Monday that's tomorrow. If it's not I will go forward with the law process and eventually have you arrested. This isn't a game messing with my hard earned money isn't a game, dude do you realize what you have done and the trouble your about to be in. People every day get locked up or even worse, for stealing. You stole money this can be reversed by returning the money. This isn't murder "once it's done you can't take it back". You can take this back by refunding everyone their money.

In ky we handle things different. We try to be civil at first, but if things don't get resolved quickly, well you guys know.

True he got me good. But I think a felony and him in jail is getting him back two fold.
