Have him fax you the receipt, the police report, and a note on company letterhead. Make sure the fax is from his workplace. THen I might start believing him. I have heard of these scams done on the street. One guy walked up to one of my Dad's friends and offered him a VCR for sale. He bought the VCR really cheap, and five minutes later another guy came up to him saying the VCR was stolen from him. They were trying to get the VCR and keep his money. He told the guy to hold on a minute while he went inside to get the VCR. He and his friends went inside and came out wth machete's. They beat the $hit out of that guy with the flat side of a machete, and he ran off. They later saw him again with the same guy who was selling the VCR.
