Deadbeat ebayer... help me out (Alabama).

I need some help tracking down a guy who is keeping my $100 for something I bought on ebay.

His info:

Aubrey L White
Birmingham, AL
Ph# 205-563-4333

I talked to him on the phone once, and he said he was going to mail back my money, and never did. I've called him about 50 times since and he won't answer because I'm sure he recognizes my area code. Is anyone willing to call him to see if he answers? If so... tell him Marc is waiting for his $100.

Did you pay via CC? If so, you can dispute the charge to your card. If it's Paypal, haha good luck dude. I hope you can get your $ back, it sucks dealing with dishonest people. I'm in the middle of one as well...

No, I am serious. Long story short: I bought a lens adapter for $260 for my Canon video camera, it arrived damaged, I contacted the seller and we filed a claim through DHL (the shipping company). The seller was awarded $100 for damages (stupid DHL rules say the sender must be reimbursed... not the receiver). So I contacted the seller again a month and a half ago and he said he hasn't had time to mail it to me, but will soon. Since then I can't get a hold of him.

I tried to file a complaint on Paypal, but for electronic items you have 45 days... which we were still waiting for DHL claims when the 45 days were up.

^^^ I like where your heads at! I actually "yellowpaged" / "whitepaged" him last night and called a bunch of diff Aubrey Whites and A L Whites. No luck. Though his email address is alwhite@victorytcc.org so I went to http://www.victorytcc.org/pastor_white.html and there's a pic of him. He's a pastor....

This is too familiar..

My dad bought some lense accessories and tools for one of his cameras, about 250 dollars from a woman auctioning it of of a Norwegian auction site similar to ebay.

He never got the equipment, and never got any replies on email, phone number did not work either, etc, etc. My dad informed the police about the matter, and was told what the cops will probably tell you, that it`s not very likely that you will have your money back. (By reasons later to be mentioned, I seriously recommend that you ensue the matter through legal means, that`s what they are for.)

My dads case happened summer of `07.

I`ll begin from the end: A month ago, dad got a big grey envelope in the mail (Which made him think dark clouds was forming up in the horizon.) Thus he did not open it till after a few drinks..

Turns out it`s a report from the police, the swindler was caught. And it was actually a guy..


Turns out the idiot swindled 100 people the same way, then he got caught (doh..) ... while he was on bail he continued his frauds in the hundreds .. Under different and frequent changes of names and addresses (One which belonged to his aunt, the other to a close friend.) And was just on his way to the airport with a ticket to Barcelona when a black Audi came up in front of his car (At which point even I would suspect bad weather in the horizon.) Thereafter sirens blazing, (He tried to get away.) 800 metres and 3 extra police cars, eyes pouring (Tear gas.) and handcuffs on his back, later. He was taken downtown....

To sum it all up: The report was 200 pages long with all of the swindles and frauds, his methods, etc, and the perp owes his victims over 6 million NOK, or, around a million bucks..
My dad still says that the report on this swindlers idiotic venture was almost worth 250 dollars

For whatever it is worth, I really hope the perpetrator is hauled in by his respective law enforcement! Seeing as he/she is charging low sums for the bogus equipment, the chances of this criminal using several aliases are quite high, and therefore easier for the police to track for more reasons than I care to remember from reading the report. Hopefully (As evil as it may sound.) you were among the first to be swindled, as, when most swindling idiots are caught, the victims are paid back their money in the same order in which they were conned.
