If you mailed a USPS MO to a street address, find out the local LE and make a complaint. They can go find this person and make it right. The postal inspector route is good, but may not get your $$$ back.

If you feel comfortable, please post all of the contact info for the scammer here so we can share it with other buyers.

I usually ask for a phone number and call to speak to a real human. It is usually pretty clear whether they are legit or not.
