Man I hate to keep perpetuating this new trend of bad ST members but here's my story. I agreed to buy a Giant Trinity Comp from Hilltopper93 in the second week of August. I paid him on 8/16 and STILL do not have a bike. Part of my problem is that I paid via paypal gift, which I never do and have no reason why I did this time, but nonetheless I did. After a week of me harassing him he finally sent me a tracking number which didn't work. I have had nothing but spotty correspondence from him since this began. (He was very prompt before he had my money). I'll email or text him and it'll be 3-4 days before I get a response that he's looking into it. It's now been well over a month. Last message from him was a week ago.

My question to the ST community is what options do I have. I know who he is, I know where he lives, I have his phone number and email address. Could I seek out an attorney to file suit and make him pay my legal fees? He's in the army so could I contact the MP's at the base or local PD? Not sure what to do since this isn't the typical take your money and run scam and seeing that I know who he is and where he lives.
