ok I know this isnt appearance related but I need all the help I can get last year I bought a turbo kit off of a guy on here his real name is shane bennet from shaumburg, Il I need any information I can get on him because he never sent the kit turns out he sold it to like 3 people but only gave it to one so I got dicked out of 500 bux well i sent a postal money order and filed a claim they gave me my money back after 3 mnths so I thought everything was good well then after I had sent the money to finish building my motor they sent a letter saying I owed the money back because the origanal money order had been cashed and said If I didnt give the money back they were going to turn me into the treasury department and garnish the money from my income tax return So please some one help me get ahold of this guy and fix this problem.

 

Who threatened to garnish your tax refund? The Post Office, or was it some collection agency?

I doubt they would have returned the money to you in the first place if they couldn't track it down.

Smells like BS.

 

The psot office threatened to garnsih my wages not the loacal one the one who is in charge of doing the investigations and I didnt understand then why they gave the money back in the first place since the other guy had already cashed the money order.

 

Do you still have the paperwork they issued when you got the check?
Have the letter they just issued?
How long ago was it?
Have you reported the guy to the FBI yet? (It's mail fraud, their jurisdiction).
Called yours and his local PD to file a theft report?
Filed a civil lawsuit in your court?
There are a bunch of avenues to pursue, you just need to be a bit more informative.

 

Basically all i did was file the report with the post office and since they gave me my money back I didnt do anything and I dont have the money to file a lawsuit or anything because I would have more than the origanal 500 bux in a lawyer and Im just a poor college kid.

 

Small Claims court. You don't need a lazy overpriced scumbag lawyer.

 

The threat is legitimate, then? That's what I was wondering about.

The Post Office messed up by refunding his money, now they are going to use the US Treasury Department to recover $500?

Report to the FBI. That usually gets things moving.
