Ripped off by a member (Or was he?)

Ripped off by a member - MakaveliFaison - $440

I am still trying to get in contact with this guy as he has vanished off of my AIM buddylist and appears to never be on here anymore. He has also kept his private message box full so I can not contact him through that either. You'll know him because he made the post about how he put "projectiles" on the his 05 Touring about a month ago. What he failed to mention is that he sent me 2 checks that actually ended up bouncing after I deposited them - putting me out $440.00 . They cleared at first so I withdrew the money and shipped and a day later I had a notice from my bank telling me how those checks were no good. I now owe the bank 470.00 (440.00+NSF fee)...why should I be paying this out of pocket!!??
So I contact him and he tells me he's sorry and he will be sending the money Thursday, October 19th via Fedex. I heard from him on the 18th and since then he has vanished. A real man of his word. I suggest all members watch out for him. As for me I have most of his information except for his phone number and I believe this classifies as mail fraud so I will be pressing charges on this man Anthony Donnell Faison.

I am making this post for him to see, the Moderators have allowed me to do so.

That sucks man!!!

Do you have his canceled check?
If you do call his bank and ask what procedures to take to press charges against him.
Don’t let him get away with that!!!
Good luck
Gary

OMG that sux!! Send him certified letters asking for the money back. If no response, contact the DA of his city/state and report check fraud. Also, I would suggest having a lawyer send out a letter as well containing info on charges of check fraud/possible jail time and that you are being represented by a lawyer. He should come to his senses. You can get his phone number from his address by doing a simple internet search as well.

His number is unlisted actually.

I noticed he was on but he keeps his message box full so I can't get to him that way.
