Assuming you paid with a credit card, have you disputed the charges with your credit card company?

I would think they would have no problem taking care of something like this.

This highlights the reason I only buy stuff from reputable folks that have a verifieable history. My favorite way to buy is from paid site sponsors and from people that I talk with (within this community). You just cannot go wrong that way.

John, you are not doing anything wrong by posting information about the perpetrator here. Are you? You should just post it for all of us to see.

I believe "outing" a scumbag in a public forum could result in a lawsuit.
