E/W: Tl;dr. Naive guy puts $1900 down on an imaginary HKS prototype TT kit that doesn't exist. Scammer withdraws paypal money, closes bank account and taunts OP. Scammer's identity is known but the catch is - he's canadian.

I've asked a guy who deals with this sort of thing for a living what the next step is but I dunno.

You know about this stuff don't you? What would you recommend that the OP do (given your profession)?
You're actually one of the two people I was going to ask.

I'm gonna push this for a bit. I don't know anyone in Canadian law enforcement unfortunately but I know a guy who chases this sort of sh*t to ground and gets paid for it so I'll see what he thinks. I'm not going to let this go. I'm bored, need a new project and hate nonsense like this.

He's reading all of this. That's the hilarious part. He gets to watch as this all collapses down on top of him.

Yes, it's all cached and I already sent it via pdf to the Winnipeg police anyway. The bored woman answering the phone just asked me to send it in an email so I did. Regardless, his identity and address are known. I'm absolutely shocked he hasn't panicked and returned the money yet but I'm betting the donkey-toothed dummy was true to form and spent it already so he's totally screwed.

Hey Chris, we're laughing at you lol

You think with all the money he scammed people out of he would fix his awful looking teeth.

Too slow dumb and shortsighted for that. This guy doesn't have money that he hasn't stolen. Pretty smart targeting a car forum that has bored guys sitting around with disposable income huh?

I don't understand how he's not in jail after so many scams. OP hope everything works out. Pay Pal is very good with disputes like this.

I'd imagine he'll be seeing the police pretty soon. If I don't hear back ill call tomorrow and talk to a detective.
