I also have been defrauded by Osamah, for the amount of $165. I gave him a deadline of tomorrow to either give me the UPS shipping confirmation number or agree to refund me. I will be out of town for a week, and if he doesn't get back, I'll take it a step further and call both the Dept. of Justice (they have a division that deals with internet fraud) and INS.
I am also ashamed of what he is doing. He not only took my money, but he cost my wife and I a month of study time.
By the way, my wife, a licenced dentist in a foreign country, is in the process of applying to schools in the US so she can eventually obtain a DDS. I'm acting on her behalf until she gets here. Perhaps in the future, we'll be able to be a constructive member of this newsgroup. But for now, I have two goals: to get my money back, and/or see to it the Dr. Majeed Qureshi is treated to the proper consequence of his actions.
Oh, I was able to get his current address and phone number. I won't post it here because that wouldn't be appropriate. I also have his bank account number that might also be of use. Also, his online resume indicates memberships several dental organizations.
I think a collective effort might go farther, but I am not sure in what way. Does anyone know the best way to deal with this legal issue?
