Gentlemen, there is something you have to understand about scammers and that is they depend on you to be successful. They rely on your basic trust in the membership on these sites and on your kindness to seek compensation instead of justice. They stall, what is called in the prison world “cooling out the mark”, so that the victim eventually gives up and goes away. You have to understand that generally the police are not interested in these kinds of cases because most of the time the victim is only interested in the police going to the scammers home and threatening them into sending the item or paying the money owed. That is not what the police do. They are not a collection agency. If you want to file a complaint on the specific scammer and have them arrested and prosecuted that is a different story, but that is generally not what the victim wants to do. Most victims are good people who do not want to hurt or put anyone in jail. Unfortunately these cases to prosecutors’ are expensive and detract from their budget and are not viewed as worth pursuing. However, not all prosecutors feel that way and are willing to prosecute. It is rare to find one of these guys in the prison system because it is rare that charges are filed against them or the amount of money is too small to constitute a felony. I don’t care with whom you have a transaction you need to keep records (evidence) of the transaction (e-mails, phone records, copies of receipts, or photocopies of shipping receipts). If I were a seller it would not bother me at all nor would I be offended if you asked me for documentation in support of the transaction. The only way to stop scammers is to file charges against them, see to it they are prosecuted, and imprisoned. Stop playing his game and saying “Oh well, I guess I just lost my money or the item I traded.” Warchild and others among you with similar complaints, go to the prosecutor’s office in your area today and discuss the options available to you in getting this guy off of the streets. He may be able to coordinate with the authorities in Indiana the arrest and prosecution of this guy. Since this Ollis guy has scammed others in other states it is possible federal authorities may have an interest in him based on the crossing of state lines and using the internet to commit his crimes. Scams are not new to the criminal world, but the internet opens new windows of opportunity for these people and is more lucrative than in the past. If you receive an item from this guy and it is not what you ordered it is still a scam and he has profited from it.
