think I got ripped off on Facebook

I'm in Illinois, in fact I'm 1 hour and 10 minutes away from his house. Best thing to do is to maybe "bait him" and see what he does? Just an idea, but if he ripped you off, he's bound to rip more people off. Nothing is worse than being ripped off by someone that's really far away. Hopefully this will be resolved.

A knock and talk from local law enforcement will be the way this guy gets his item or money returned. Mail fraud is pretty serious and old boy could be looking at jail time and hefty fine if the OP wants to push it. I certainly would if I was the one out over 4k
