After it has been turned into the police you can claim it after a year.\n\nCoach

if you pay with pay pal or check or moneyoreder  it will be easier to report (becaseu you have proof) with cash it will be harder,.....when you look under what you've won and look under contact seller there is also item not received then you can follow the directions\n\n\nBuyers can open an Item Not Received or Significantly Not As Described dispute between 10 and 60 days after the transaction date (the date when the listing closes and the buyer commits to buying the item and the seller commits to selling it). When opening a dispute, the buyer indicates whether the item was not received or whether it was received but significantly not as described.

Not suppose to. Go to your main post office and ask one of the clerks for best way. Don't forget, The small price of merchandise return receipt is worth it in the long run. Don't want someone claiming not to have gotten product with no proof of delivery.

Is this just a simple Small Claims Court suit?  If so, you don't have to be formal or anything.  No special form is needed.  \n\nJust send a response outlining your side of the story.  Give copies of receipts or proof to support your claim.  \n\nThen be sure to appear in court.  If you do not show up, the other side wins by default.\n\nIf this is in a higher court, and/or for a lot of money, you will need to consult an attorney.

Yes. They can still take you to small claims court even though there was no police report filed. You are responsible for the damages you caused. However, to avoid going to court tell them to go get 2-3 estimates and you pay the smaller of the two. Thats the law. Hope this helps, I am a paralegal.

May 1,2006\nI also received a similar letter and am wondering the same thing.  I did call however and spoke with a rep.  She told me that I should deposit the check, and then call her back and she would give me the information on who I should contact to claim my "prize".  I have yet to take any further action.  I am curious to see how many people have received this letter and where they all live.  I live in Atlanta.  If any one else has any more information please post it!\n\nMay 2, 2006\nI called a local consumer advocate number and they recommend that I shred the check. That even though the check looks real and that in three days the funds may appear in my account but the check actually takes up to a week to completely to go through, and since the dead line to complete the transaction is May 5 by Monday they will have cashed the cashiers check and their check from J P Morgan will have bounced. Kristi please let us know what happened.

It all sounds like small claims court is the right place.  The defendant needs to show up and present her story (and it would help if the ex-boyfriend presents his.)  If anybody ha any evidence of who owns the stuff (receipts, etc.) it would help win the case.

Look on the back of your receipt and follow the directions for a lost claim.

You probably shouldn't open it, but unless it was sent to you with documented proof of the delivery I'd open it then deny it when I received the bill for it. Watch out though, it could be dead.

You should have been given a stub where you purchased it. It will have the amount of the money order and the ID. Go back to the store or follow the claim procedure in the back of it. Good luck!

File a police report.  It's unlikely to be resolved, as you have no proof that it was even stolen and not misplaced.  I completely believe you, but there is certainly the shadow of a doubt.

You need to get a a copy of the police report, or a copy of the complaint filed against you. \n\nIt is possible that the one committing the fraud is the person in Atlanta. If you indeed sent him the item he purchased, he may only now be saying that he received an empty envelope. In fact, he may be lying to you when he said that he filed a police report, in the hopes that you will believe him and return the money to him to avoid any problems.\n\nSo, write to this person and ask him for a copy of the police report and the complaint. Next, confirm with the police department that there is a charge of larceny and mail fraud against you.\n\nIf there is, you need to write to the police department and say that there is a big misunderstanding, that the item was lost in the mail, but that you will return the money to the buyer.\n\nThe other question is how much is the item worth? If there is indeed a charge filed against you, then yes, if you ever travel to the USA you could be arrested and incarcerated, until you appear in court for trial. If the amount isn't that great, offer to the person in Atlanta that you will return the money, after he drops the charges against you. It is a question of how much you value your peace of mind.
