Call the police and the bank?

Bank said they cant do anything. Made a police theft by deception report. I have there address. Got a plane ticket and omw to there house to either get my money back or beat them till I get my money back.

I hope you can get your money back, but you should really be careful where you are buying things from on the internet it sounds sketchy as hell.

Buying shoes for that price on the internet is not a good idea unless you are 111% the site is reliable and has a good reputation.

Unless it's a genuine mistake from the company which I'm sure you will be refunded.

Why would you buy $2000+ shoes if your family is broke and you're going to college?

Wait, you already got a plane ticket? What a stupid thing to do if so. You are probably now down hundreds if not thousands more. First thing is first, stop making emotional decisions.

You can report this to the police, though there will be no guarantees they'll be able to do anything. It isn't really theft by deception... It's more so outright fraud, which does work in your favor. But... absolutely nobody is liable except you for these kinds of transactions.

For such sums, I would only ever take Western Union or TransferWise (completely irreversable). If you receive a check, you wait for it to fully clear, and then after receiving the bank's confirmation that it will not be reversible, you ship the item.

I'm sorry man, but life will always hit hard. I have had some sh*tty things happen to me, believe me. Things like this too. It sucks... it really does. But right now, odds are unfortunately only 30% in your favour if you're lucky.

In future, use a darn contract and have these things in writing when making a transaction for such large amounts of money.

Besides, if I am reading this right, the estimated shipping cost was $1800? That is utter garbage. Shame on you for not seeing this as a red flag.
