think I got ripped off on Facebook

I am a former Police Detective and new to the page so maybe I give some insight and I also have a very close friend who is a Customs and Border Protection investigator I can sick him on and he will know if it was actually shipped.

You can make a report with the local PD where this guy lives. They wouldn't be able to charge him because it was an international transaction and would have to get ICE or CBP involved and the ok form an AUSA, Assistant US Attorney. The chances of that happening are zero. Contact the local PD. Explain your situation and ask if they would be willing to make contact with this guy and that may be enough to shake him. You will likely have to provide all of the text messages or instant messages and emails to show the transaction was legit and you would be the legal owner. If you have that and they are willing they may be willing to take custody and I imagine through this page the property can get close enough by people helping to get it to you.

If I can help with my contacts let me know.

Good luck
