    Ok...I'm going to post this here so just in case this happens to anyone else, they can kind of get started with their own stuff:

    If you've sent any kind of money to any company, and they fail to deliver on their promise (shipping paid for materials, etc) these are the steps you need to take:

    First, you must file an incident report with YOUR local police department. In Mermaidnz's case, she would need to file an incident report for Grand Theft (larceny) against this US company. At that point, your local police will notify the business' local police. The police will then get started with their own investigation against the company. You will need copies of all correspondence with the company. Names, dates, Proof of payment, etc.

    In some international incidents, the FBI and the Secret Service can get involved. Especially if it's dealing with large amounts of money (or large amounts of complaints).

    Now, in Mermaidnz's case, this company did not have any "negative" reports with the BBB, but when I contacted the local police department, they have dealt with this company on numerous occasions over the same complaint. If you are wanting to do business with a company, it is extremely important that you really do your research. The only thing that the BBB can tell you is if anyone's filed a complaint. If you know the city/state of the company, it's best to contact the local law enforcement/DA's office and ask if there are any problems with the company (any legal complaints/criminal/civil lawsuits). While they won't be able to divulge what, exactly, the problems are...they can give you a good idea of what kind of "legal water" this company is treading.

    Will you ever see your money in these types of incidents? Probably not. Sometimes, though, you will. Do your research really thoroughly before sending money...and make sure you send money through means in which it can easily be retracted (credit card, if possible). Deal only with highly reputable companies for international dealings.

    Hope that helps someone!!
