Oh wow, Michel that is terrible, did you pay with cash or online with credit card or paypal? I know credit cards will give you your money back and the same with paypal. I am very sad for you, I hope you get your money back, and the person who did this gets what he deserves. I pay absolutely everything using paypal, wether it is eBay, or personal sellers, that way I know I'm protected.
Have a good day, and I know you will have much better luck from now on, and I know you will join the "club" sooner or later
Cheers
