Hi all,

I have also been taken by Joe.
Won the auction and sent my casheirs check as requested.
But after giving me the address, I received no goods or subsequent e-mails.
When I made my purchase his rating was high, all good and had no reason to suspect otherwise.
I did check with my bank to ensure that the check was cashed prior to suspecting anything, hoping to give him the benefit of the doubt even after 3 weeks of silence.
My doubt is now confirmed by the poor ratings he has received and by this forum dedicated to his dishonor.
If anyone is interested here is the link to the Superior Court of California in which one can get the form to take Mr. Kennedy to small claims court as I intend to do.

No doubt the cost of filing the case will be more than I lost ($42), but it's the principle, not the money.
Besides, it is going to cost him much more if I am awarded court and travel costs.
I don't blame RCU for this loss, but I have lost my faith in the auction process here and will stick to e-bay or ensure that I can use pay-pal purchases in the future.
If anyone has further info on Joe, I would appreciate it, it will make filling out the form easier.
