I've made a deal for a high-end 15" macbook pro with a guy whose mail I obtained from ebay. It has a picture at the end of all his auctions saying something like "before making a bid contact with me at tonibay9@googlemail.com".
After several mails, I get "his" name and address:
first name : Anthony
last name : Benson
address: st. mary street 14
city : Southampton
country: United Kingdom
zip code : so14 1nr
I made the payment via Wester Union on 24/03/2009, as soon as he gave me a web direction and a tracking number. On that web (http://globalsnet.info/) I could (Supposedly) to see the trace of my item till today (26/03/200); the day which the item has suppoused to arrive. The web dissapeared as soon as he sent the mail. I've traced the Domain host and its ip, it seems to be in Rumania but I won't trust it
I recieved an email this afternoon from the bastard saying that my item has arrived to its destination but that there was a problem . Instead of one laptop they sent accidentaly 2 and ask me to do him a favour buying the second one cheaper. If I couldn't do that, he told me that he could have some troubles with the agency and so and my laptop won't arrive before 60 or 90 days.
I told him I've got no money and couldn't afford that and he hasn't replied yet. I started then ip-tracing, mail-tracing and web-hosting tracing. After several unsuccessful trials, I search the internet and found this web http://escrow-fraud.com. On it, I've seen the following image http://escrow-fraud.com/gallery.php?img ... et.com.jpg which was EXACTLY as the web-page the guy used to do the "tracking" of my laptop. There's where I found what I've been suspecting: I've been defrauded

I've tried to mail-trace the mails we've sent each other but the guy knew what he was doing thereby I have not been able to obtain it.
I've looked also on Facebook and found some guys that feets his characteristics and found 2 or 3 but guess the name and surname must be a fake.
Sorry for my english, writting this kind of messages is when I notice I have to improve it
