nothing I can do now
At minimum, you must file a police report for fraud. Tell Amazon that you expect a credit. If the item was expensive, file a small claims suit.
Maybe I miss something. Why would my local police dept bother with a customer on the other side of the country? how can I prove that I am right and customer cheated?
price is $150.
I had something like that happen ages ago -- like the late 90s. Involved a Mac I sold, actually. Was told to get my local police department involved; luckily, I had a friend in the detective department. A few phone calls later (from the detective dept); I got a refund on my seller fees, my 100% positive feedback rating was restored, and the person at the other end of the deal got their account terminated and a visit from their local police department.
Your local police dept is step one to protecting your rights against fraud. Next step is the state DA. They handle this kind of thing more often than your think. It's fraud and it's illegal, plain and simple.
