Local police are useless but I did posted on alpha crc Facebook about their employee. Maybe you can get at least some justice for Cliff ruining you.
I wouldn't say they are completely useless. A lot of the time they can forward their reports or information to another agency with further reaching jurisdiction. Meaning, if local police are unable to handle it they have a direct pipeline to those who do handle these things. However, if they don't deem it worthy of contacting the other agencies then it is pretty worthless. Also, if it doesn't violate any "international" laws and only local laws, but there is no connection between your locality and theirs it might be difficult to have anything come of it. It seems a shame that their partner is just taking the fall for all of this financially.
Pawn here. Hopefully this never happens to anyone else here
I do not know what happens on the buyer side in this scenario.
I feel sympathy for your situation. It's very unfortunate, and all I can say is that you should try to do everything you can to hold onto your money legally. Paypal should be able to handle this within their own house without draining your bank account. I don't know how this would be done, but it just feels wrong for you to become fooled and then take a loss for all of his scams.
