Joe Salamone

[Crumb]

Anyone know anything about this bloke? My mate just bought a Joey Hetherton off him but it never arrived. Looking at his feedback it looks like he sold the same record to someone else as well and they didn't get it either. His ebay username is chuck260563

The bloke wanted cash or bank transfer but my mate persuaded him to accept paypal but to his wife's account, is there anything he can do to get his money back?

Cheers

Either the guy is a crook or someone hijacked his account. chuck260563 is no longer a registered user on eBay, which means eBay kicked him off due to too many negatives. He won one of my items last month but never paid.

Your mate could try to get his money back by filing a claim with paypal, but that would assume that his wife has kept a balance there, which she probably hasn't.

joe salamone aka joseph salamone is a notorious belgian scum bag, he's doing this for years and years w/out getting caught. i'd say do not buy from any belgian seller on or outside ebay unless he/she is recommended by someone trustworthy.

your mates pretty lucky that he paid via paypal. he better try to get his money back as soon as possible, i wouldn't be surprised if the paypal account is cancelled by salamone and any money withdrawn within the next few days!

paypal are pretty hopeless in these circumstances......however the credit card company linked to the paypal account i found very effective.....i had this problem once and got a refund from Barclaycard......

Same problem here! Sent him a euro draft for around e250 and guess what? The 2 records never came and he ignores my e mails. I tricked him into opening an e mail with a read receipt under a different name and he replied saying he hadn't had any money. Brilliant considering he acknowledged receiving the registered letter with the draft. I have his address, but not sure how pucker it is, in Mons. I may well organise a visit from one of my 'friends'. If anyone can shed more light please pm me.

Regards, Steve.

Steve,

There should be several old threads relating to this guy and other aliases he's used. Long time con artist. Perhaps the mods can provide links to the other threads for Steve and the others? Given the length of time he's been doing this and the number of people he's conned, it may well be worth contacting UK and Belgian police and Trading Standards, as well as Ebay and Paypal etc. Good luck.

paypal used to fully cover your loss, now it only covers what it can recover from the account of the person who ripped you off. I actually got screwed by a fake belgian guy (maybe the same person, although their name in the account was "phillipe henrioul" or something like that). Ebay with 0 feedback, etc. I thought I was safe because I convinced them to use paypal. I didn't know that they had just changed their policy. I did somehow get $20 of the $60 back, though, as they still had that in their account.
