Legal Question in Criminal Law in Idaho
Internet rip off
I bought something over the inter net and i sent him a money order. After a month and several calls and emails, have yet to recieve what i bought. This is only 135$. I live in idaho and he lives in New York. Is there some i can sue without going to NY? I hate it just eat it, knowing that he can strike again!

Re: Internet rip off
You should be able to sue him in Idaho State Court b/c of Idaho Code section 5-514 which says when you have jurisdiction over an action in Idaho. Paragraph states: "The transaction of any business within this state which is hereby defined as the doing of any act for the purpose of realizing pecuniiary benefit or accomplishing or attempting to accomplish, transact or enhance the business purpose or ojbective or any part thereo for such person, firm, company, association or corporation." the problem is that you would have to serve him personally in NY, then collect against him after you receive your judgment in NY. My teleph # is 208-345-3817 if you need additional assistance.
