Tried. Something about him being in New York though. Internet crimes weren't exactly in their infancy, but in 2001 they were still a relatively new thing. This guy was in New York, I was in Texas. And it was all done on the internet. I talked to plenty of people and I can't remember their bullshit excuses now, but there was nothing that could be done really.

I did report him to Ebay but it didn't matter. His account was fairly new, he made them and cheated people early on, then just moved on to a new one. Plus, Ebay only covers a certain loss and it's a pathetically low amount.
