I never did any business with the person in question but if I had and he had scammed me to the extent of some that I've read of his location I very much doubt would put him beyond the reach of the law, Canada is not a lawless 3rd world country. He might be banned from this site but there still might be incriminating messages in his closed account which should be accessible and legally so for any legal action/process. To those who have lost money why not post of how much and organize a collective case to present to our police as an online fraud case. Regards payment method, if not via paypal then how? I would hope that no one paid for any big ticket items via any means which precluded any recovery of funds outwith legal action - such as wire transfers etc.
