I posted my wedding ring for sale on Ebay for the asking price of $5,000. It is appraised at $10,000. I received a email from a "[email protected] stating that he was interested in purchasing for his wife. His emails were signed Julien Ferry. Not sure if that is his real name.
He said he uses a French PayPal version called www.contract-confiance.com for his transactions. I accessed the site and it looked pretty ligit with many corporate sponsers. There was a deposit for the asking price and $400.00 extra for shipping and taxes.
I received a email from the Contract-Confiance that I could now ship the item to the buyer and I would receive full insurance on the item being shipped.
I sent my ring via UPS for $60.00 overnight international shipping. I got confirmation from UPS that he had signed for the package containing my 3ct diamond ring !
I started to email him asking when the funds were going to be released since I am still making payments.
He stopped responding to my emails.
I personally wrote to every sponser that he must of "cut and Pasted" to his fake escrow account, because the site was shut down !!
I am looking for any legal advice. Please feel free to contact me.
Thank you.
