It'd be nice if there were a few people that wanted to pay him a visit to verify his address, make sure he's alive, and possibly see what needed to be done to resolve this issue. I'm guessing we're going to need an accurate address to file small claims.:facepalm
Has anyone contacted the consumer fraud division of their local attorney general or district attorney's offices?
Did anyone pay through the mail, and contact the postal police for mail fraud?
Today during my lunch break I again called the three numbers I have for him. Two of them I left a polite message asking him to call me asap or risk being reported for consumer fraud. The third number was answered by what sounded like an elderly man, and when I began asking him politely if he knew of any way I could contact Paul because it was very important and I wanted to offer my help, the man became somewhat angry and stated he didn't live there and wasn't going to answer any more of my questions.:facepalm
Regrettably, I think I'm going to go ahead and begin looking into filing with small claims and my state attorney general as suggested.
ok well ive had enough. i need his address info so i can contact his local police and get the mail fraud/grand larceny going. this is complete BS at this point
I sent you a PM with his address information. I will post it on the boards if you guys want me to. At this time I don't really care who knows his address.

That'd be nice, but the conduct code says no no to posting personal info. Could I also get that address so I can check it against the few that I have before proceeding with my claims.
Well I just got a letter saying my credit card company has refunded me the money. I would much have prefered to have the boots, but I can't complain. I hope everyone gets their money back somehow.
file with your credit card company. listen to fettfanatic and myself.
i used fia for one pair. they are going to credit my account for fees and interest.
they filed the paperwork and are going to send me some paperwork to fill out.
i used chase for the other pair and they are going to start the investigation as soon as i send in the paperwork to them. no big deal. but they filed the paperwork too.
now for the best part. i asked what about the guy who ripped me off? do you guys refund me and take a hit or go after him? both replied the same, oh we will go after him. ahahahahaha. so there you have it. dont delay. you are now in the time frame of paypal. dont hesitate.
Your right Lorenzo. That is unless your paypal charges to a credit card and doesn't draft from your bank or your paypal account itself. I used my credit card for the purchase through paypal which is why they gave me my money back. Even if it drafts from your bank account you could go to them and see what they will do. However, if it drafted from your paypal account directly it doesn't seem like they are willing to do anything. I really hate this for everyone. I hope they do go after him. It is just a shame that it had to get to this.
Well I've had enough after being told that he is responding to email inquiries about job quotes but completely ignoring our requests for some communication on this. Tonight I filed complaints with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center and my State Attorney General. I've included the links below, as well as a link to his business and personal information. I would encourage anyone else who's at a loss to file complaints as well in hopes there's strength in numbers and something can be done. I too would have prefered a positive solution, but Vicente Paul Mejia's actions don't give me any hope.
