Fraud

If you've been ripped off, don't give up just yet. You may still be able to track down the seller who scammed you. Here are a list of useful sites you may use/contact regarding your issue:

Internet Fraud Complaint Center
http://www.ifccfbi.gov

Federal Trade Commission
http://www.ftc.gov

U.S. Postal Inspection Service
http://www.usps.com/postalinspectors

Federal Bureau of Investigation
http://www.fbi.gov

Royal Canadian Mounted Police
http://www.rcmp.ca

Phonebusters
http://www.phonebusters.com

Ontario Provincial Police
http://www.opp.ca

ohh, and dont forget the most important of them all...

www.waste-of-time.com
www.dumb-people-get-scammed.com

I highly doubt the FBI would help out someone that was scammed on computerforum.com

"I purchased a Pentium, and was sent a Celeron!" OMG!
"What was the users name?"
"Forum_Scammer"

Exactly, all I was trying to do was give some people some helpful information if they get scammed.

to be honest i looks more like an attempt to up the posts and attempt to become eligible as a moderator.

These kind of posts just aint gonna help, you will be better off showing your knowledge by answering peoples posts throughout the forum. Show that you have knowledge to solve problems, after all thats what this site is primarily all about. Someone asks a question, we help out if we can

It's not an attempt to do that, I had some helpful links I wanted to give out is all.

Total money lost in 2001 due to internet fraud: $6,152,070
While it is $518 per person average lost.

~11,876 (reported) cases of people loosing money in 2001...

They will go ahead and file that lost 100gb HD right up there on the top of the list... In reality, nothing will happen if you use these methods. www.fbi.gov? come on.

you mean if he doesnt like it ignore the thread, not dont ignore the thread, that would mean he would be looking at it, which isnt right....

lol, anyway, yeh, some liknks helpful, yes, but FBI, come one man.... and really, most to all people here are smart enough not to get scammed and if they somehow do then they are smart enough again to follow it up by themselves.
