ClintN667 is a Fake and a Fraud

[Fiesta Red]

He offered me the guitar for $1,300, since he told me he was going through a divorce I said hell make it $1,500. Sent $1,500 PP FF October 6th, he messaged thru rigtalk I would get tracking # the next day. At first I messaged him that I was giving him the benefit of the doubt when I didn't recieve the tracking # on October 7th as he claimed he would. No word from him so my messages became threatening. On October 9th he messaged that he would send tracking. Then I see a PP refund which was fine but then he eventually blocked it.

If that is being an "asshole" I'm guilty as charged.

Maybe it's his wife who has access to the guitar, the money, blocking the refund, and it's her -- pretending to be him -- just to fuck him over.

I actually thought something similar BUT if he hasn't logged on here since 10/9, I don't believe that. There's a reason he hasn't logged on

His wife has access to all his electronic info, computers, etc

How about writing to him the old fashioned way. USPS.

Have the police do a wellness check at the residence. Hopefully verify if he is currently present there or (even alive). I would assume he has neighbors that could provide some information. The police can maybe do that too.

Explain to the police (which you probably have already) that you are deeply concerned about him because you guys are "friends" and know he's going through a divorce. Him ghosting you is not like him and you are worried about his well-being.

We all know you are wanting the money more than anything. Sorry to say, but the cops aren't going to do squat to get your money back. However, some sort of "digging around" can help.

This actually could be the issue here. Not saying it is. But one scenario is, if there is an ongoing divorce case, the guitar could be being claimed as community property — as in both ClintN667 and his wife claim equal ownership. That may preclude ClintN667 from selling it outright.

In this instance, the funds could also be tied up on his end until the financial aspect of the divorce is settled.

So that is a theory. However, it does not absolve ClintN667 from letting riffs know exactly what is going on. That’s 100% on him.

There is a possibility riffs may wind up having to sue to get that money back. I’d sue both him and wife.

However, if you sent a demand letter to their attorneys on each of their behalf, that may be enough to get your money back —if this whole thing is indeed the case

Even if that’s the case, case, communication costs nothing

How is OP going to know who the attorneys are?

He should have all his details and most jurisdictions have court case info online.
