Another scumbag Canadian scammer beware!!
This is meant more for the canadian members, a month ago I answered an ad for a daytona 116520 white dial on kijiji, the sellers supposed name was Thomas Smolanza, supposed address: 250 Mary St. east Thunder Bay Ontario.
He sent me an empty box, which i can prove because the weight recorded by fedex of the box is the same as the empty box itself. This was not a complete surprise to me email he uses is : sultantoms@gmail.com supposed phone #. 8078779988 put a claim in to paypal and lost it, so out goes the myth that paypal always sides with the buyer. i have since reported with our police dept. here in Woodstock, anyone with info contact constable Geertz badge # 1507 phone # 5195372323 incident # WP-16-00684 if you have any info or have been scammed by this guy or someone similar. I have also made a full report on ic3.gov website. And notified fedex of the scam

Sorry to hear this.
Any idea why PayPal sided with the seller? The weight recorded by FedEx seems like a strong evidence. Good luck in getting your funds back. Powerfade |

Re-open the case with Paypal. Make sure you call in and speak with a supervisor. Do not open the case online. Also, file a chargeback with your credit card company, if a credit card was used.

I'm not typically sensitive to these things, but isn't this thread title a tad racist?

Not really racist since Canadian isn't a race, it's a nationality. That being said, it does kind of sound anti-Canadian. Maybe if he kept the "scumbag" but lost the Canadian it would be better.

The OP is from Canada. I would think that this disqualifies him as anti -Canadian. |

That sucks. Glad that you used a cc so that you had some recourse on that front. I am sure once PayPal is provided with the information about the weight and it gets to a supervisor they will see your side of the story.
Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Sorry to hear - always thought of Kijiji as a Canadian Craigslist. It flopped here in US. eBay tried to challenge CL and failed - but the scammers seem to love it.
For same reason I would only do CL in person, bloggers have long said same for KJ. http://www.yousuckatkijiji.com/2012/...about.html?m=1 Sharing that link in spirit of communication and community - for benefit of members who read this and plan to use Kijiji themselves - no reflection on the OP.

I am from Canada and I don't find this offensive. A scumbag is a scumbag, this one happens to be from Canada and if people are warned about him hopefully this does not happen again to anyone else. |

Sorry to hear about your issue and thanks for letting us know. This should serve as a warning know who you are trusting your money with. I for one would rather pay an established AD to be on the safe side

Sucks sorry to hear that. I would file an appeal with Paypal and provide them the police report and Fed Ex claim number.
Good Luck! |

Not anymore - and its tangled: They Did own 25% - invested in 2004 and quickly learned how corrupt the CL Founder and its CEO acted. Then in 2007, EBay launched Kijiji in US. Then CL sued eBay claiming stolen info was used to build Kijiji. Then EBay successfully sued CL in 2010 because CL thwarted eBay's desire to sell out. Then eBay sold its CL stake in mid-2015. And now eBay is scaling up Close 5 - another US competitor to CL but App-based. Confusing - yes! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
