Well mate there is very little you can do. . . Once you have willingly transfered your money over to someones account it is legaly theres.

There is no point going to the bank because the person who own's the account hasnt broken any laws unless he was bound by a legal contract of some sort.

My mother works in a bank and she explained to me that this sort of thing happens alot and there is absolutely nothing that can be done.

The safest way to buy/sell goods interestate would definately be via C.O.D(Cash On Delivery). Even so, you may turn up to the post office and end up paying for an empty box.

Once again. . . It would be very hard to get your money back. . .

It's a quite risky business buying and selling via the internet.

It would cost you more to chase it through the courts than it's worth but a contract is a contract whether it's written, verbal, emailed or whatever. I haven't finished my law degree but I have passed contracts.

You could write him a letter saying that you know who he is and that you will sue him for the money plus costs and generally make life hard for him. You can use the Small Claims Tribunal or whatever it's called in your state.

Be up front with him and say that you realise that its going to be hard for you to get it back but that you are willing to go to the effort just to **** him over.

Was it through these forums? If so, maybe there is something that can be done????

This is absolutely incorrect. It's called online fraud and it has been targeted by police lately. Definitely file a police report - and be sure to e-mail him a copy.

Can't you go to the bank and say that the dude messed you up? You paid for goods not received..

Failing that, call up the bank and say that you deposited the money into the account by accident (Wrong account no?). I've messed up the account number before and the bank has reversed my deposit.

While I don't advocate 'shady' tactics, if you have been wronged sometimes it's the only way out..

Um, i have been in a similar situation. You *can* get the bank to investigate and get the money withdrawn, but its around $40 I believe to get their investigations team (or something like that) onto it. For $130 it's hardly worth it.

Other option is what others are suggesting, speak to the cops and file a report. Again, because its a small amount cops aren't going to be jumping backwards to investigate it - but worth a try.

In my case it was an accident so I just asked nicely and they deposited it back.

If you are really pissed off you need to go down to the local police station and file a report there.

From there it should get escalated to the federal police but the guys are pretty busy these days.

If you just want to report this as an online crime, visit the AHTCC (Australian High Tech Computer Crime) website: www.ahtcc.gov.au website and grab the crime reporting form.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      Airbox for +T

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
