If this person really is at Harvard and is using the Net for purposes
of fraud, you ought to get in touch with the person at the University
who is in charge of computer services and get Park's privileges
revoked. There are probably other administrative remedies Harvrad
would apply to such a person -- I can't see the University wanting to
be associated with interstate fraud, which is a Federal offense.

That's why you should never pay anything down, and you should always
purchase using a credit card.

or COD. That way no one's at risk, no?

You can contact his account manager at "postmaster@HIS_EMAIL_DOMAIN".
His postmaster will then issue a warning to him to cease or have his
account removed. Further, since he is at a government supported
instatution he can be arrested by federal athorities for criminal
fraud. (in this case their is no minimum value requirements.)

Oh, sure. That works fine when dealing with a business,
but not very many private parties accept VISA/MC. I know
I don't and I've been involved in dozens of net deals.
There are ways that help protect a person involved in
these deals but nothing is foolproof. Even people who
deal with a business sometimes get ripped off, so that's
no perfect guarantee either. It decreases the odds of
getting ripped off though.

will cancel this charge. If you paid by mail, write the Postmaster at
the city and zip code where you sent the payment. Send full details of
the transaction.
In the past I have received a full refund from different merchants after
I complained to the local postmaster.

Yes, it's called disputing. Unless you have advanced buyer protection (which
costs quite a bit of money to have), you can never just cancel it (that would
be obsurd).

I think most cards require you to let the charge show up on your bill,
then contest the charge...

Well, I always at least make a cursory inspection of the contents of a COD.
No problem there, and if the delivery guy won't wait, to hell with him.
Usually I have any COD stuff held for pickup, that way you have all the
time you want to inspect it.

Almost always, COD is cashier's check or money order for this very reason.

Unfortunately, both parties can be easily ripped off using COD. The
seller can send an empty box (or with some garbage) and the buyer has
no way to inspect it before he gives the money. Buyer can pay with a
bad check if you use USPS COD unless seller indicates "cash only."
