I'm sad to report that
Bitcoinstore.com has encountered our first scammer:

He ordered a video card earlier this week, but insisted that we declare it as $0 dollars for customs.
Legally we are not allowed to do this, so we offered to declare the full amount, or refund his money.
******* asked for a refund which was promptly sent.
Unfortunately an extra 4.5119 was also sent to him that he is refusing to return. (I understand that this is partially Bitcoinstore's fault)
The Bitcoin address and payments in question are:

Other than the reputational enforcement from this posting, I don't know what else can be done.
Any ideas?
BitcoinStore customer information is normally considered private, and will only be divulged in cases of blatant attempted scamming.Because this order was placed with Bitcoin, we have no idea if the above is his real name,
but we can assume that the address is valid, and I know that the telephone number is valid as well
because when I called him, he knew exactly who I was, and why I was calling.
