It's going to be a long summer

I was ripped off on a Sovereign I bought on E-Bay as it didn't sell and the seller said she would reduce the price if i wanted it. I sent her a Postal Money order and never got the Sovereign and was told to contact the Attorney General for that state. I was told I would have to take her to small claims court and probably appear in person, so that was no good for me. I then contacted the Sheriffs office in that county and he paid her a visit and told her she had a option of sending giving him the detector, or my money back I paid her within 2 weeks or she would be charged in fraud which is a felony. He got my detector, but was told I had to pay for the shipping to me which I did, but he thought about it and sent my money back as he said she has to pay it as I had paid her once for the shipping and he would collect it, so for me my deal turned out OK as I got my Sovereign and she kept her butt out of jail. I would suggest to get ahold of the local sheriff and explain your problem and with luck he will be as helpful as the one I had.

Good luck and I hope you get your money back or a detector you paid for.
 
Glad you did ok Rick. Your one of the good guys... always helping other detectorist when you can.
 
If you sent them a check it's mail fraud, and is a Federal crime. Here's a link to the USPS website where you can report the POS..

Sorry to hear that. I live in the SW corner of Mo. and hate to hear about jerks like that.If I knew anybody up that way I would ask them to stop by and say hi. Hope you get your money back.
 
I would like to thank everyone whom has replied to my bad luck story
I have filed fraud charges on Mr. Dwight Bonney with my local sheriff's department, Attorney General in the state of MO. and the
US Postal Inspectors for mail fraud
Thanks again
Joe
