Good Morning guys, I need some suggestions and maybe Rich Melvin can contact me directly also. I bought an item from a forum member back in November, I sent him my payment, it was received on the 27th of November and he hasn't shipped my item nor will he respond to my e-mails. Do any of you guys have any suggestions as to what I can do to either get my item or my money back from this person. I know I have one option and that is to go to the Post Master in the city he lives in and file a complaint against him for mail fraud. The amount is just shy of $100. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I won't be able to answer back until this evening as I'm getting ready to head off to work. Thanks in advance to all who respond.

Wow! I am blown away because I use OGR Forum membership as an acceptance criteria for doing business. So far, I haven't been scammed, and in 2 cases I avoided scammers because they were identified on the OGR Forum.
I have no advice other than to have the a postal inspector show up at the door step of the person. Good luck and keep us posted.

Not much of a helpful comment. Pointing out the obvious!

How did you pay for the item?
Today is Dec 9th? It's really not that long ago. You have a right to be concerned, it's your money. There's no excuse for your emails going unanswered other than bad manners. Honestly, I would allow a few more days.
Perhaps the seller has some serious personal issues like illness or death in the family that has delayed a response. You could check out his profile and see if you can determine who his friends and contacts might be from a club and try getting in touch with them?
If you post his name here someone may be able to help...
send the person a certified letter with a return receipt.
when you get the return receipt back and still can not get ahold of the person cancel the money order.
