Not sure if this is the correct place to post this or not. If it's not, please relocate it.
In February, the company I am working for made a deal with a guy named Steve Cole of Whitestar Plastics out of Nova Scotia Canada. We wired him a total of $10,000 for a deal that was to consist of roughly 20 tons of ewaste, a 53 foot trailer loaded front to back top to bottom.
Needless to say we got nothing. After the wire transactions were complete, communication dropped considerably. He would call our shop at 7:00 a.m., knowing we were closed, leave messages but then never answer any of our return calls. This went on for 4 weeks. He never provided shipping info, nothing.
In March he started making excuses, sent through email. The snow had prevented the shipment from making it out, a worker was in the hospital, the border agents were inspecting the entire load, button battereis needed to be removed from motherboards, so on and so forth. He then had the nerve to ask for MORE money...
In April we started making moves to recover our money, which doesn't sound too promising. We've spoken with lawyers, on both sides of the border, and spent quite a bit of money trying to reclaim our funds. Very slow going process once international borders are crossed.
Please all be aware of what you are doing. We, unfortunately, got a little too excited and are now paying the price, to the tune of 10k.

btw, we have all documents backed up for redundancy and can prove this quite easily.
