you can also report it to your nearest grocery store, but it will do you about the same amount of good.
Police have bigger things to worry about than, “some kid who lost yoyo” bottom line, THEY DON’T CARE, and even if they do for some reason, what they can do is EXTREMELY limited. Only way they can tell if you had really scammed, and the package had not just been lost in transit, is if they do a FULL search of your house and find the yoyo in question.
Also when writing a guide, please make it easier to read by not typing in mostly caps, and using correct grammar.
no no, you can report it, but they also don’t have any proof that you did ship it. they need proof of some kind, negative or positive before they can legally do anything. lets say best case scenario:
they have proof he didn’t ship it, you set a court date. Paying for a lawyer, (if you need one) will exceed the cost of the yoyo buy 20x, and would NOT be worth it. best possible scenario: you don’t get a lawyer and you still win the case, then he is supposed to pay you a compensation, for such a low valuable item like a yoyo, they aren’t gonna check in to see if he actually paid you or not for something like a yoyo, peroid. My dad went to court for a car claim in which the he won, and the one being prosecuted was supposed to pay him $7,000. He alerted the court about this, and they said they would check up on him. (like they say no matter what) 3 yrs later, the never got a dime from that guy. if 7,000 dollars isn’t enough to make the it worth it for the court to check if someone paid, 50-200 dollars wont be either. like SR said, sad but true.
i will take it off
