Hi, I was wondering if any of you had any advice on my situation.
Basically, I posted on boston.craigslist.org about two weeks ago stating that I was looking for an Apple G4 Powerbook. An individual contacted me from San Francisco, CA, and after much discussion, we agreed to a price of around $1000 via FedEx COD. I received the package recently and paid for it using USPS money orders. However, after I received the package, it was instead a PC laptop in poor condition. I don't even know if it works or not (I didn't turn it on), but even if it does, its probably worth at most $100-200.
I am exploring many routes in an attempt to get my money back, including USPS, FedEx, FBI, and the police. I have logged most, if not all, the communications that we've had, and I do have the address where the COD is going. I also had his cell phone number, although now he seems to be blocking all incoming calls to that number.
Currently, FedEx is doing me a favor and holding the money order. However, it is unlikely they will be able to hold it much longer.
Any suggestions/help/legal advice you guys can provide would be great.
Thanks in advance.
