He found me and I never advertised on CL. I am emailing him now as I type asking if he has anything left. He is still answering and using the same email. Phone # and texting too. He just sent me all the same pics as a few weeks ago. He is still active and not missing . I will try for more info.

Mr Frith...I had a similar situation with a seller in Tennessee. I had his IP address and a phone number. I called the local PD and spoke with the detectives group. they got me in touch with the DA's office. Filed a complaint and they took it from there. I also left a message on the scammer's phone that I had talked with Detective real name) and Asst DA(real names). Within 10 days i received a call from the DA's office that they made contact with the individual and within another week, had my item. I may have been lucky, but it might work.

Hey you can't have them. He already said I could have everything for $1000 down and $1000 on pickup. But I have to hurry cause everything is going to auction this weekend. He will only hold them if I wire the money tonight. The guy is persistent.

Well, we have a couple of address's now but not sure if they are correct, as they were provided by Mr. Woolley, to another Old Gasser. I'm going to keep collecting information thru the weekend and try to contact the Sheriff in that area. He seems to call Saratoga as home in some ads but claims he is really from San Jose. Not sure what county San Jose is in?

He had a business called Beer Signs and Cans Collectibles. The address in county records say that he does business out of 101 Tennant Ave in San Jose. He might be a renter becuase the house at that address has official records going to another address. Records show that his business registration expired in 2012. But, it looks like he's still selling through other sales venues.
Might be good to involve the postal inspector since he is using the mail for fraud. I'll see what I can find out from a PD friend of mine this weekend. Hope this helps.

Oh, Saratoga is also in Santa Clara County. The city uses the sheriff dept for their enforcement.

There is a guy in washington doing the same thing that I bought a clock from. I had a friend that lives up that way so I was going to fly up there to visit my friend and maybe stop by and put a boot in that guys *****.
When he found out I was coming up a clock came by overnight fedex.

San Jose Police Financial Crimes Unit, Fraud detail (408) 277-4521. You can give them a call, too. But, the city is under a budget crisis. Lost 200 cops in the last two years. Only put 45 back on the streets in the last month. Response might be slow.

Ron That is the exact address and info he gave me, for what he is pulling he is not hiding his identity. A very strange scheme going on.
