Hello All- New to the forum, but was recently scammed online. It was my own ignorance that allowed it to happen, but I do not want this known scammer getting away with it again. I engaged in a trade on a Mac Computer forum. I offered an XBox 360 + extras in trade for an Apple Laptop. Once I shipped off my XBox, I stopped receiving correspondence from this person. I should have realized it was a fake name. The Name/Address is:
Mike Jay
262 Nichols Ave
Syracuse, NY 13206
I have since found out that this alias and address have been used before in multiple other scams. I realize I will never see my XBox again, but I want to bring some justice to the situation. The real name of this person might be Terrance Hayslett of Memphis, TN.
I have filed a claim online with the FBI, and will be filing a claim with my local branch of the State Attorney General's office here in PA. I guess my question is, what other outlets should I be alerting. Should I talk to the NY State AG? TN State AG? Any advice is much appreciated.
