Vicki, et All G'day! and quite a different topic in the Subject field, for such a unique request.. indeed Failed Hardrive?...more way below... re your: < Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2006 18:22:08 +0100 From: "VICTORIA.DUGGAN" <victoria.duggan at ntlworld.com> Subject: Re: [iBook] Failed Hardrive To: "A place to discuss Apple's iBook computers." <ibook at listserver.themacintoshguy.com> Message-ID: <B7CCCACF-84DF-4487-8ADA-77E143D010C5 at ntlworld.com> Hi All need help here I need to know how to get hold of the Chicago state Police. from The Uk Reason for asking is I sent someone on the swap list an Ibook 900 G3 with combo 384 ram and good battery and 20gb hdd Under the illusion. That they were honest and know that they have signed for the book i have not even got a reply to my emails for the last 3 days. I know that i have lost the book and also that i will not get the money or the desk top for it as i have been conned and would like to involve the police as i am out of pocket buy £400. FOR THE BOOK AND ALSO £90. TO SEND IT. I would like to have this person prosecuted if i can. and also slandered and named as a thief. I am really disappointed that these people can get on these lists and are so dishonest. can anyone in Chicago help me out here. i can mail you all the details of the person and also give you a description of the signs i left on the book to tell it was mine (i will not give these out to the list.). Second dealing with the states this last year that have gone bad and i think that i will be calling it a day for sending bits over there now. apart from the friends that i have onlist that i trust. and Know i can trust. Sorry to tar people with the same brush but it has cost me to much to be understanding any more. > I truly feel for your losses Vicki, and hope that someone will put you in touch with both Chicago's finest fraud/bunko squad, and also those of the Postal Service if you sent the Book that way. But do know that it will be difficult, as I'm guessing that no Tracking or Insurance were placed on the parcel or Delivery Confirmation, any of which will require a signature at delivery time. I do hope, that now you'll raise the help of those good souls @: - Swap Feedback http://groups.google.com/group/swap-feedback swap-feedback at googlegroups.com - and those of the MacCleanOutCrew(iirc- they're Chicago based) on the SwapList SFF Forums @ <http://macdaniels.com/cgi-bin/rc/sff/sff.cgi> - and not oNly to hopefully get back your iBook but some needed realtime revenge too. Goodluck and HTHs some. Respectful of GURUs Bill Cornett /
