I (probably) got scammed lately and since it's the first time it ever happened to me I need some advice about what to do next. But here's the story:
I bought 3 new MIB Monster High doll sets (including even the SDCC set) on our local Polish website OLX (something like craiglist or gumtree). Everything (including shipping) costed around 70$. The seller was nice, kept contact, answered my questions about the eye wonk. She had new adds appearing in about a week so she hasn't shipped my things until Sunday (I asked for the first set on Monday). And on Sunday I see that her account has been banned - this meaning that I can't contact her through the site. That was right after the last money transfer from me (that website discourages money transfers and I was aware of the risk). Than an hour later she creates a new account and makes a new add saying that someone reported her for her prices being too low but everything is alrigh,t all packages will be shipped out on Monday and picking the dolls in person is still possible. I contacted her reminding which items I bought and my address. She said once again she will ship out on Monday (31 August 2015) and that her account has been removed because someone was selling the dolls higher and didn't want her to steal the market. She described herself as a mother knowing how expensive can toys be and wanting to provide them to others for normal prices. Later the same day this new account was also banned.
And so I was left with almost no quick ways to contact her, I forgot to write down her phone number
and the website will provide all of the user data only to the Police. I had her physical address and her bank account number. So I wrote her a traditional letter, she received it on , I have proof. In the letter I gave her my e-mail and asked to contact me. No contact was made so today I sent an another letter giving her a contact deadline till 4 October 2015 and saying that after that date I will go to the Police.
I contacted the website management describing the case but they just advised me to take it to the Police and reassured that they will work swiftly with the Law.
So does this all look like a scam to you? Is there anything more I can do?
