Never ever pay an online seller via unsecure method.
And yes he is a fraud since the parcel left customs-control warehouse which means it was cleared and sent to your country but most parcel that was made in late June aren't updating on thr system.

Thanks for the info

Well all you can do is leave a negative feedback. Also, you can report the seller to the website you are using but they usually do nothing about it unless there are several people who reported the same seller.

What about Bureau of Trade and a Police department ?? There is a real bank account and somebody known to a bank signed for the money... Will the local China bank accept the complain and investigate if they know the person or a company that is holding the account ?????

You have got to be kidding right?
This is China dude 😛 lol
