Default was i scammed???

i sent the MO to this guy's id greekspeed. i sent the MO last friday, and it's been 5 days now. i checked with him 2 days ago and he said it takes about 4 to 5 days cuz it's in alaska. today, thursday, i sent him messages thru MSN b/c he still appears online, but away. i called him and he is not answering. ever since tuesday, he has not gotten back to me. what should i do?? i have the reciept of the MO, and everything. should i report him to the police?

also, i wrote his name and addy on the MO. does that mean nobody except him can cash out the MO rite??

i'd be more worried if it was like 14 days with no reply.. no need to freak out... a regular piece of mail especially going up to alaska might take a few more days to get to him...

no need to freak out, it could take over a week for the letter just to get to him. He's probobly a busy guy and can't get back to you, maybe the time difference is screwing you up. Maybe he should get an answering machine.

first of all if you sent it regular mail then i doubt he's even gotten it yet. 5 business days? cuz if your counting a sunday in there thats an extra day that mail isn't delivered.

second, it is my understanding that you can't call the police for something like this. I'm sure it depends on the dollar amount and if he is committing a fraud offense. But i'm almost certain that in this case you can't call the cops and have them do anything. but you could always find out.

i would say have a little patience and try to contact him, but don't **** him off too much

if you're talking about greekspeed, he's a good guy, i bought his kamikaze header, and you're probably the guy that bought his tanabe exhaust right??? anyways, i send him the MO and i recieve my header like 3-5 days later, it will take 3days airmail for the MO to get there, and probably he havent had the time to send out your stuff yet, if you want, ill talk to him.
