I had found it on craigslist and was sceptical, because he wanted to get a money order.

I transfered it through a bank transfer, unfortunately, the bank could not retract it.

After filing police reports, IC3, Federal Trade commission, small claims court, etc, I continued calling him to remind to pay me back.

He tried using Paypal, but did so with stolen credit cards or unauthorized bank cards and paypal claims that according to their user agreement can withdraw the funds back out of my account after it has been verified, something my bank could not do???

Calling night and day, Adam Cohen paid $200 by Western union, just a partion amount of what he owes. Never accept this money. You must get it in full. The police report you file, will have to be filed again if you accept it, because according to the law it looks like he is paying you back.

We have a new deadline and he passed it, so I'm going back to the police and filing a new report, mean time waiting on small claims court to get the ball rolling.

whatever happens, be careful and NEVER give your money to a stranger. Only use reputable companies.
