Fraud case resolved ***** WHEW*****

Mike Fong came to his senses and realized that if he messes with us astronomers he is in trouble !
I put out a plea to the astronomy community just over a week ago. A GREAT astronomer in Canada saw my note. He put me in touch with another GREAT astronomer in China. Pressure was put on Mike Fong (who also goes by Fang Yong and James Focke) to pay me back the entire $3900. Which he did today.
I think this guy has some stuff that astronomers need and he may be someone that we should buy from. Buyers need to be careful. Like me....yes! Dont invite temptation with carelessness.
I just hope that others will learn from this and find safeguards when dealing with people not rated.
Thank you Allan and Renjiang !!! You are in my heart forever.

Congrats on getting your money back. Too bad more fraud cases aren't resolved so easily.

Glad to see that things worked out. It restores my faith in people, especially the astronomy community.

Congrats, but I can't imagine what he could possibly have that we, or at least I, need so badly that we (or I) should deal with him. No way will I do so.

That jerk still owes me a couple hundred bucks from a deal over a year ago. He pulled a bait and switch on our deal so I ended up with a different telescope than the deal was for and he never refunded the difference in price as promissed, despite dozens of emails from me. Do not even consider dealing with this person. Thankfully he hasn't had the guts to post any ads on astromart that I know of.
