dude you got scammed and now he is trying to scam other people. go ahead and contact law enforcement.
if you look in his orignal post he posted
"italstalnprd86 wanted to buy it from and said he mailed me a check... i waited a week but i never recieved it and now i'm late paying rent "
he made the thread on 11-15-07, says he waited a week and you never sent the check BUT, if you look, the last time he edited that post was on 11-18-07, only 3 days after the original post, it wasn't a week he waited.
point is, the guy is guilty of interstate wire fraud which is a felony AND mail fraud (if you used the postal service to mail the moneyorder/check) (wire fraud because he used the internet). he also probably don't understand how easy it will be to catch and prosecute him. i'm not sure the FBI's internet crime unit in his area will get involved because it was under $1000, but i would call and ask either way. if they won't, contact the state police for his state and they will usually have an internet crime unit.

I hate it when stuff like this happens....
I'm still working on my issues.
What kind of procedure happens for international transactions (Canada / US)?

my rule of thumb is to not buy anything over $1k from an indivdual. anything below that i will use paypal, to a confirmed address only and my source funding for paypal is my credit card. that way if i get ripped off i can file a complaint with paypal, and if paypal doesn't do anything i will file a complaint with my credit card company and they will get my money back.
i've filed 4 complaints with my CC company in the past 6-7 years or so and recieved a refund on each one of them. as long as they are legitmate and you don't file a bunch of them, you will get a refund

no idea on that one. i know it would have to be a big money transaction for the fbi to even wink at it. that's why i recommend no transactions across the border unless it is done with a legitemate company such as rebelworx, or another that is well known.

Since then, I follow that same procedure. Paypal with MC. So far, Paypal has been good enough to refund me on 2 occasions... never had to go to the CC company.

i's pretty despicable that people will scam you, especially over the internet now adays when it's so easy to trace people they really think they're not gonna get caught

anyways, if he will not respond to you, you need to report the money order stolen, the sooner the investigation can begin, the faster it will proceed, because there will be fewer records for the businesses/banks to sort through for the investigation.
but do what you want it's your money, not mine
