Last month my girlfriend won several auctions for camera equipment run by a seller in Poland. The seller had good feedback, and seemed legit. She paid him by Western Union, and hasn't heard from him since despite numerous emails.

The auction - Yahoo, hasn't been much help. Western Union was worse - they wouldn't even promise to look into stopping the guy from linking to their website, or receiving more payments from unsuspecting buyers. They claim they don't even require a home address or phone number to receive payments.

Does anyone have any ideas? We've run into a wall.

Guys, this is the link to Internet Fraud Complaint Center, if u ever get ripped off file a complaint with them, I tried it once and was amazed at their reponse, but canceled the complaint when I finally received the item after waiting for over a month, I would get the FBI involved into this:
