Moving to Turkey now. He found my work on Etsy and after some back and forth wanted to send a check outside of the site. I spotted him early since I get one of these every few months, but politely went back and forth until he mentioned his shippers and sending a check. I told him I only sell through the secure server on the site because I'm sure he had heard of unscrupulous hucksters who were trying to take advantage of poor artists with their scams.

They are typically pretty careful about either not being found or if found being some place that authorities can't or won't go after them. I have links in the right column and you can check out those. Police won't do anything if you have not experienced a financial loss (and often don't have the resources to pursue if the financial loss is small... this is what scammers exploit), but it's always worth reporting this stuff because if the ic3.gov, for example, sees a pattern of complaints, they will then pursue that as a pattern rather than an individual case.<br /><br />I have found, which is why I started this blog (and related facebook page), is that if we just keep posting online and warning each other AND potential victims start catching on that they should search online before proceeding with any online sale that doesn't feel right, we can at least reduce the number of victims who end up losing money.<br />KatieMoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998438534712939464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334260376400900106.post-91636377453425035432015-10-15T21:09:55.452-07:002015-10-15T21:09:55.452-07:00What action can be taken if you know his real wher...What action can be taken if you know his real whereabouts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
