We sold two of the new dual core systems to a guy in Ohio, and when he started asking weird questions I should have known something was up...

To make a long story short, after insisting he couldn't figure them out and was in over his head, he asked to return them. We of course said sure. So 1 week later two boxes show up at the house... Unfortunately, each has a single core system, missing half of the cables and both are completely nonfunctional.

After several emails back and forth, him insisting he sent back what he received, us sending him documentation from the manufacturer that based on the serial numbers these could not have come from us, etc etc, he insists he returned what he received. Then it arrives in the mail, a notice telling us the charges have been reversed in a charge back by the buyer. So we faxed all the appropriate documents to the credit card company and then I just did some googling... do I need to start doing criminal back ground checks before selling now!!!

Damn man, that sucks, I'd try calling the CC company and showing them who the guy is, But I know from experience how dealing with them on Chargebacks is. CC's are designed to protect the consumer, not the business.
 
The man should have no assets left after a scam like the first one.

Then again, how the hell was he the CFO of a company for 10 years at the age of 35?

But yeah- it should be no contest to get your money back. This guy should have no credit. It kind of makes me mad that he's clearly a fraud and he's still out there working his magic.

Wish I had something constructive to say, but all I have is venomous wrath!
