I met this person on a popular dating website. He indicated that I go to a particular website in order to view him; he is a professional card player, i.e. poker, etc. He directed me to view his profile which indicated that he has won in excess of $315,000 from 2005-2008; however, I noticed he had not participated in any tournaments since 2008. He agreed to come out from Nevada to California to meet me 2 days prior to my birthday in November, 2009. I picked him up in Universal City from the shuttle. From there, we immediately went to my bank as he had a check for $1,600 that he wanted me to cash. The entire $1,600 was dispersed over 2 days and was deposited into his bank account at a different bank. That night, he stayed in a hotel near our city's mall; we had gone out for the evening. The next morning I came to pick him up and dropped him off in LA county as his friends were going to take him to see his child.I never saw him again before he left and he was back in Las Vegas by Friday of that week. On Friday afternoon I received a call from my 'unhappy' bank indicating the check had bounced and I immediately called him. He said don't worry I'll take care of it. Well here we are 1 1/2 months later and no money. In December, I sent him a bad check letter from the Las Vegas DA's office through the dating website as I had previously sent it certified and it was returned for insufficient address. Per his bank, the unit # is missing from the address he provided. I'm kind of stuck here as I can't file a bad check report in Orange County, CA or Clark County, NV as it is considered an out-of-state check on both sides. I think I have to take him to small claims but that also presents a problem as the unit # is missing from his address. I also reported him on the dating website but they never took any action; I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone else. What am I to do now. He took advantage of an unemployed single mom and her special needs child; he ought to be ashamed of himself.Any help I can get would be most appreciated.
