Post Please help ! Guy from Kansas may have robbed me !

Bought and paid for 2 Bravo drives from a guy named tinkerbell22 on ebay, from Athol Kansas. They had drive showers on them. I never got them, and it was over a month ago. He won't return my e-mail. Someone must know who it is. Thanks, for your help . I really appreaciate anything that can be done to contact this guy. He has a 1998 Fountain.
Thanks, BBB

Looks like a small town. This guy won't be hard to find. Good luck.

If you used paypal, dispute the transaction. If you sent a check, cancel it.

If you used paypal you should be fine. report him to ebay and to paypal

Good attitude, like Jonas said he might me away. I would pick up the phone and start trying to find the guy. I think you are justified in getting concerned as so much time has passed. How did you pay him? Do you know his real name? If you paid through paypal just dispute it, they're real good about porotecting the consumer.

This web site lists all the local businesses; http://www.amazon.com/gp/yp/geo/KS/A...268138-7447312

It list 116 but many of them are duplicates.

You might want to post this in the General Boating Discussion forum. It'll get more attention and you might be able to get a pit-bull like Masher to chase this guy down.

Call the county Sherriff and ask if he/she knows him.

I have done that before when trying to find someone in a small town and at times they have been very helpfull contacting the person or a name of a relative that might know how.

If no luck I have also gotten the phone book and called everyone listed. In a town that small everyone knows and most are related. Some don't like their relatives and are helpfull in locating them.

Also the boxes in the background appear to have come from Alcon Labs Inc. offices in Fort Worth Texas, for whatever that is worth and the person likely may work in Hutchison KS.
