I have a very scary buyer that I'm not sure how to handle.

They have pretended to be 3 different people in my messaging. I'm sure it's the same person. 

On one of the messages he told me his middle name which I thought was so weird so I googled him and the first thing that comes up is his criminal record.

He claims the item I sent isn't working and is being really weird about it. Saying he wants me to sell things for him on ebay and other weird stuff.

The alter ego messages say that they really want the item I sold to the 1st alter ego and he'll pay me more money for it and all I have to do is say that it is broken.

Anyway, I just want it to end. What is your suggestions on how to end this. At this point I know I'm out the $192. I've learned a good lesson. I now have a po box. But I'm not sure the best way to end this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Tell them to open a case and then cease all communications.

Do not respond with anything other than to tell him if he wants to return the item to please return it for a refund. Then the ball is in his court. And go ahead and put him on your BBL.
